Update:
After five minutes a ticker appeared with a little more info.
The fault meant that the end of the race was not shown and at 04:15 the live feed crashed out of the teompary fault slide to the BBC Red Button coming up next slide.

A new style of titles endboard on the Solheim Cup coverage. Presumably this is the new style for generic titles, finally replacing the style with the black bar along the middle of the page that has survived a few rebrands.

Huh. That's just
odd. It feels like an early concept, like half an idea, and not a particularly pleasant one to look at.
And, to me at least, the new BBC Sport branding doesn't have quite the same presence on screen as the old yellow-boxed logo.
And why is the 'SPORT' text so poorly aligned with the BBC logo?
ibb.co
(The margins above and below the 'SPORT' text, relative to the BBC logo, clearly do not match.)

That’s so weird it looks like a vertical fault with the picture like the old TVs which had a v hold function, they put the old bbc sport logo on the golf ball as well.

The old logo on the ball is because the entire intro bar the endcard are the same titles that have been around for four or so years now. It's just the end that's been updated...15 months after the graphics change. There was an interim update, starting with last year's Open, with the new BBC blocks in the place of the old logo in the previous style.

They do seem to have been slowly but surely phasing out the yellow square in recent weeks.

Eilidh Barbour presenting Match of the Day tonight for (I think) the first time (at least a Saturday edition from the studio). Bit less certain on this, but might be the first time all three BBC One Saturday football shows were hosted by women? Alex Scott hosted Football Focus as normal, Kelly Somers stood in for Jason Mohammad on Final Score, and Barbour on MOTD.
The scheduling of Final Score today was a bit scattered today. As ever it began on the Red Button only at 14:30, and BBC One joined at 16:30 (following the live rugby). But with live football at 17:30, and news needed to be fitted in beforehand, Final Score left BBC One at 16:50, and then was on BBC Two for another 25 minutes.
I get why they would want to feature Final Score on BBC One, though surely it would have been better for it to be on BBC Two from 16:30 and then the news on BBC One at 16:30 followed by a slightly longer build-up for Man City v. Newcastle?
Anyway, nice for live sport to take up the whole former Grandstand slot and even go beyond that. Sadly, that is often a rare occurence these days.

Probably would have made more sense to air the news at 4.30pm then Final Score to have the classified results, but certainly odd scheduling.
Has Alex Scott hosted MOTD yet - surprised she didn't get the nod tonight.

She presented on January 20th, which was a short programme due to the 'winter break'. Per the ICDB website, that's the only MOTD she has hosted outisde of World Cups and some MOTD2s.
