They’ve reworked the entire way the channel operates, and things are properly explained and analysed. They’ve had to fit this new format into their existing presentation, albeit temporarily, which is why some bits don’t look quite right, but Christ, I wish people would look at the bigger picture rather than catastrophise because sometimes they use an old title sequence depending on which studio they’re using.
Exactly, the coverage itself has been incredibly high quality, barring a few hiccups - I'm finding that there is much more emphasis on analysis than previously, which is incredibly interesting. But it's ridiculous how they all seem to be overlooking this and branding it a failure because the graphics aren't the greatest and they can't seen to acknowledge that the primary purpose of a news channel is to broadcast news.

Indeed the hiring of Caitriona Perry to be their Washington anchor is another great move. But they would prefer a culture war debate hosted by Martine Croxall with Owen Jomes versus Sonia Sodha instead.

A lot of posters on the news thread come across as refuseniks,

It’s fun how the sizeable contingent who seem to be pushing us to dislike these new arrangements are complaining about a sizeable contingent who seems to be really pushing us to like and support them.

Slightly surprised nobody over there seems to have noticed clean versions of all this year's Eurovision beds being played out in full during the week. Would have expected that to be dream content for the requests forum in previous times.

I think it'd be best if you took a week off. It's not good for your blood pressure.

The TikTok meet and greet sessions this week used this year's beds as filler between the interviews - all three variations got a lot of air time. All the country specific heart graphics were also shown, which appear prominently in a lot of the broadcast graphic elements.

Was very sad to not see Tumble Tower last night. Hope the killjoys haven't banned him.
