[Transmission]

Disagree that the new filler is good.

It doesn't look good, the transition is strange, i.e., "Around the World and across the UK this is BBC News", little transition into BBC theme song, and some text and images.

There's no context of what's happening, like why are we going from a presenter, to a theme tune and powerpoint slide of news??

And then we break out of this filler very abruptly, "You're live with BBC News".

That kind of strange reading of a cue line without explanation seems to be the way they always deal with this sort of thing now. I'm sure there are probably good reasons why they manage the complications of the channel it this way, but it's usually quite stilted and not particularly friendly to the viewer.

My favourite of these, which I've seen more than once, is when the presenter has had to interrupt an interview to pause at an opt-out point and say "This is BBC News", followed by a long pause, before returning to a thoroughly confused interviewee.
