It probably has cost more money, the five chief ex world presenters presumably got a massive pay rise, and the five previous news channels presenters will probably want the same amount if they come back, then you got all these random presenters(well they are not bad) who probably drafted in earning no where near those amounts yet are having to provide a same level of service as the top presenters who get paid £230k for doing the same thing, although I don’t think it’s helped the branded shows don’t really showcase the chiefs presenters unique skills like the previous branded shows, it’s just poor very disappointing for a pres geek, it’s sad to see.

There is hope in the sense where the network news still looks amazing and produced to a much higher standard as well as the stuff from Salford which looks very good and neither have been inflected with those dreadful red graphics.
