Given that’s still a derelict site not due to be finished until 2026, no   

That’s The Mailbox where they’ll be for the next four years.

I found the new BBC Radio station logos on the schedules for all radio stations except World Service and CBeebies Radio, and I mean the ones on the top left, not on the programme images.

This is Radio 1’s new logo from this link. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001c8hz

I wonder if there's any urgency for shows to update to the new BBC blocks in their openings going forward. A pertinent example of this would be EastEnders' opening, which I thought would have updated by now!

Last we heard, the plan was that the BBC logo would be phased out of title sequences.

And yet the current Blue Peter titles got revised, so that the programme logo at the end has the new blocks above it (therefore reading as "BBC Blue Peter"). Previously, the old BBC blocks either appeared earlier in the sequence or not at all I think.

They do need to sort out the EE titles, which still have the old BBC logo on the opening titles, and the old BBC Studios logo on the end board of the credits  

Casualty still has the old logo appearing at the beginning of its titles as well as I think

Unfortunately, the void between the first proper rollout of Chameleon branding and new rules/guidelines for title sequences and endboards materialising has been filled by people just going ahead and making assumptions regarding implementation of the new branding on titles/endboards.

Gardeners' World with a good example of how to use the BBC logo over the start of the programme - all the other examples with the new logo I've seen so far have had the logo too small or too high up.

Have to say I'm baffled by the idea that this is being "phased out". It's a simple and easy way to tell your viewers that you're watching a BBC funded programme when you're watching it somewhere other than the BBC, and another forward thinking move by Lambie-Nairn back in 97.

Don't quote me on this.... but maybe it's being phased out for the sonic sting to replace it?

Side note, are they ever going to get round to updating the logos for ONE, TWO and FOUR to match THREE on most EPG's?
