I'll probably reach State Retirement Age (I'm currently 42) before the blocks are fully updated on all BBC outlets, services and new content.

If the threatened scrapping of the Royal Charter at its next expiry date really does go ahead, and therefore the Beeb has to transform into some form of "commercial" broadcaster as a result, then (and only then) do I envisage total branding consistency being quickly pushed-through on any/all remaining traces of old logos etc.

Auntie Beeb in its current form seems so singularly incapable of ever doing so. 1997 was clearly a one-off fluke, and will forever remain the *only* time that the (Licence Fee-funded) Beeb will ever have managed a well-coordinated blanket changeover.

I listen to certain BBC radio stations through Freeview quite a lot. The MHEG images are *still* in the old style with the Gill blocks and the old station logos (e.g. Radios 3 & 4 still have their "treble clef" and "quote mark" numerals, respectively). I consider this state of affairs, much as with BBC Weather, to be nothing short of woeful and pathetic.
