It's a nice music mix, and certainly happy to hear some of the more interesting synth elements returning after the boring orchestral sounds of recently.
But I think it's way too aggressive for a breakfiller. Probably shouldn't have the pips either.
Although I do think that the current coundowns are far too high energy as well - the way it used to work was that they built up, but the climax was more the start of the headlines, rather than them feeling like they're a step down in energy from what preceded them.
Of course, the gold standard for breakfillers is the original 1999 package, where even when the pips came in, it was in a more sedate "echoes" ivocation of the main news theme, rather than basically the same thing again.
