Hi. I registered on the site about a month ago, namely because of all this news about the BBC's revamp. I started watching it a bit and tbh, I am not impressed. One thing I can't understand is why the countdown is now filled with OLD clips that were decommissioned many years ago when they were revamped in like 2018????? When I watched them, they just felt like the UK ones were chucked in the bin and replaced with the ones commonly used on BBC World News.
Also, the countdown timer being in the middle of the text in a faded font thats hard to read doesn't scream "modern" to me, its bad for accessibility reasons. I haven't watched much of the programming yet, because of other stuff (snooker primarily, and the fact I now watch Sky News because I want predominately UK news coverage with any relevant international stories that could impact the UK), but I'm not particularly impressed with this revamp and it makes me question whether I'll ever watch BBC News again.
