If I recall, the early days of News 24 allowed male presenters to not wear ties or a jacket but still wore shirts?
Ros Atkins doesn't wear a tie and the world hasn't ended.

It looks much better and if the channel is going to look less 'corporate' and 'stuffy' then it's definitely a good move!
Besides, expecting men to wear a full suit and allowing women to dress smart-casual is actually a sexist attitude to a uniform policy which, thankfully, a lot of businesses are moving away from. Imagine the uproar if female presenters were ordered to wear certain clothing and male presenters were not. No different the other way round.
