Couldn't see a thread so thought it worth starting it on more generic terms to invite discussion about how the BBC is set up in various countries.


The BBC have announced this week they're launching BBC Nordic and BBC Nordic+ in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.    BBC Nordic will be one linear channel replacing BBC Brit and BBC Earth, with BBC Nordic+ the new streaming service to support that.  

Seems the service concentrates on Factual and Entertainment - BritBox is also available in the area, where the BBC is a 50% stakeholder with ITV, so I guess that is where they put the drama.   I don't think there is a nordic version of BBC First.

Linear channel BBC Nordic brings together the very best of BBC BRIT and BBC Earth and will replace them in the current channel mix. BBC Nordic+, a new on-demand service will enable viewers to delve deeper into the BBC shows they enjoy from the linear channel and discover new favourites.

With a long-standing history in the five Nordic market, the new channel and on-demand service have been borne out of research into local audiences tastes and the content they most enjoy. They will offer a tailored line up of the brightest factual and feel-good entertainment series from the BBC, making it easier for Nordic audiences to find their favourite programmes and to discover new shows.

Looking further afield and at BBC Select in the US, where the great logo change of 2021-20?? began, and seems they focus only on documentaries too.   And BBC America itself now is nothing of the sort - they screen the Attenborough documentaries all day on a Saturday and Graham Norton on a Sunday night but other than that it's film and reruns of US dramas.

Yeah, BBC America should rebrand. Why license the BBC brand if the schedule is now mostly domestic output instead of British imports?

Over in Australia, BBC Kids (one of the new brands that kickstarted it all) animates the blocks a bit differently:

I think the still caption's been mentioned on TVLF, but not the one in action.

And - apologies for sounding like a broken record here - BBC First. We may not heard much about the ident after this teaser, but some bits of Chameleon can still be seen elsewhere. Like this promo of a drama on a certain PM:

Rare to see the text-only TV endboard being used on social media, especially for promoting a drama.

BBC America needs to be re-branded and BBC Canada closed a few years ago.
Dont forget the BBC  operates BBC FOOD and BBC HOME as FAST channels on PlutoTV in North America. And BBC Kids appeared for 1 year and then it disappeared.

Is BBC Entertainment still going? that was the BBC Prime replacement, I swear I saw it somewhere.

It's still going but it's available in very few countries now

Relayed from another thread: the teaser and promos are out on their Youtube channel.

A bit similar, but a tad different to the domestic Chameleon form.

The spliced partial N in the teaser looked like SRF1 in Switzerland though, only mirrored:

If I'd found that "Brighter TV" promo a few days earlier could have had some fun on the 1st with a "new BBC1 idents" thread.

It really is a gorgeous promo. Reminds me a little of BBC HD's last look and that of BBC Knowledge (the international version). And speaking of BBC Knowledge, talk about the ones that got away!

Change the upside-down question mark to a '2', and you've got a set of idents that would have been perfect for BBC Two.

Flip it horizontally so the symbol looks like a stylised ‘1’, and it could work nicely. More visually interesting than the Lens idents.
