No surprise to no on air mention. Just ending the hour the same as any other hour.

Bonkers when you think a long serving presenter - Joanna Gosling was given the sign off she deserved, as was Simon McCoy. 

Oh well, this is the BBC we've got now.

You're comparing an apple and oranges situation though. The departure of a long-serving and loyal presenter should be acknowledged in a meaningful way. On the other hand, a news channel undergoing a revamp that will ultimately result (despite what the ridiculously hysterical hyperbole in this thread would suggest) in it still providing a suitable news service for the average viewer is something that doesn't require a big song and dance.
