Wednesday 21st June 2023 is the Summer Solstice.
So, if the "spring refresh" of BBC News that was rumoured 94,000 weeks/months/aeons ago is ever actually going to sodding well materialise - and not be deferred to a subsequent season/year/decade (or to the Twelfth of Never) - then it's tomorrow or nothing!
The rather 2D and simple title sequences that have debuted in recent times for Focus on Africa, The Context, News Now, and Verified Live are presumably indicative of the direction of travel for any possible new look for BBC One network bulletins and/or generic hours on the NC (if there even are still any of the latter anymore, since the advent of a spate of branded strands?).
Almost *anything* other than the 94th interation of the existing titles being hacked-about to badly Chameleon-ise them, would be welcome at this point.
