Where did I say it would be a different look? If anything the opposite, except it becoming under the Chameleon branding I don't think much else will change. The "watching box" will only appear on the domestic version when there is a news event anticipated and it will only go full screen once the event starts, for example someone starts speaking or the verdict is about to be given. Otherwise the rest of the time you will get full screen core feed with full graphics and tickers (which are also not changing). 

I've been told on good authority that while GALLERY A will be used for the UK opts, it will actually use STUDIO J cameras. So STUDIO A will not be seen under normal circumstances.

<speculation>
I guess in time the technical infrastructure will be changed to have a (maybe virtual/software based - perhaps vMix) GALLERY J which will have full opting ability to avoid the need for a huge gallery to control essentially one camera and microphone plus OSs.
</speculation>

I thought the graphics were changing as someone tweeted there were testing new graphics but having said I can’t remember who said that…

As to the countdown now thst nearly all the personalities are going they can recreate the 2000 countdown but in chameleon style?
