I thought I’d share this as it was interesting getting the opinion of people who aren’t interested in the way we are plus some of it was amusing

I had the coverage of the alert on after getting the breaking news notification and was curious how they were going to fill the time. My housemate came into living room and asked what I was watching. Will point out he is in no way a regular news watcher, he’ll sometimes watch a bit when I do and he’s not into “presentation”. When the new bbc logo came out he asked why they’re were using a bit very good copy!

Within 5 mins I could see he had a confused look on his face so asked what was wrong. His words were along the lines of it kind of looks like bbc news but where’s all that stuff gone on the screen (ticker info); do they think we’re stupid (the one line headline); is this mock/comedy version (he honestly thought it was because the spent so long on it and the interviews with the public.)

I explained about the changes to which he replied it now made sense what his mum was talking about. She sadly has a disability which means she can sometimes struggle to articulate what she means. Shed been confused about why the news had changed and couldn’t understand why she wasn’t seeing what she used to see. She apparently said has turned it over.
