11.45am BBC News HD to disappear from Freeview

With the closure of Freeview’s COM7 multiplex coming up at the end of this month, alternative capacity has had to be found for the BBC HD services that currently reside there.

The affected BBC HD channels are: BBC Four HD, CBeebies HD and BBC News HD.

The BBC has confirmed that BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD can be accommodated on the PSB3 multiplex, which it operates. This will also mean that these channels will be available from more transmitter sites than is currently the case for COM7.

However, no alternative arrangement for BBC News HD has been found. So, when COM7 closes, BBC News will be available in SD only on Freeview.

Thanks to @ukdtt for flagging.

8.15pm Minor glitch at the end of Sportsday

It looked as though the video for the closing sting wouldn’t play and the director may have improvised by fading up the headline bed.

10pm New BBC branding for new series of Top Gear

A pleasant surprise to see the new BBC masterbrand logo incorporated into the opening titles for the new series of Top Gear. The new BBC blocks also featured in the BBC Studios logo on the programme’s endboard.

Disappointingly, the old BBC blocks appeared on the programme’s set.

It’s worth noting that at this point, the new format for programme endboards – incorporating the new BBC masterbrand – is not yet approved for on air use.
