Credit where credit's due: I do think Christian Fraser is excellent, and I'm pleased he still has a place on the merged channel, even if The Context feels quite bloated as a 2 hour programme.

Certainly the parts of the 2008 rebrand that are left are significantly better than anything that has come since.Thing about dead people: We really don't know what they think. But I do get what you're coming from. I mean, the BBC really loves the "White" era so much, they're holding on to it within an inch of their life. But I just can't help believing that this current branding will give way to something much bigger. All-in-all, I wish that they have a full refresh soon.

At that stage BBC One were in N6 and News 24 were in N8, but obviously firing up one studio is cheaper than two which is why they chose to simulcast the bulletins.

Then IIRC in mid 2000s there are some changes to editorial teams of three bulletins. The Six and Ten teams were merged and the One was handed to the News 24 team.
