7.45pm Sky advice for viewers receiving BBC channels on SD-only equipment

SD versions of BBC One and BBC Two on satellite will be reduced to a single nationwide version of each channel in January, as the BBC begins the transition to HD-only versions of its TV channels on satellite.

EXTERNAL LINK: advice for Sky viewers who receive BBC channels on SD-only equipment.

The Sky advice page includes a mock-up of the graphic that will be displayed on the new nationwide SD version of BBC One instead of regional news programmes.

9.45pm BBC staff seated in the new BBC Breakfast/BBC Sport studio

An image has appeared on Twitter this evening showing BBC staff seated in the new BBC Breakfast/BBC Sport studio in Salford.

As the author of the tweet has stated, it’s not much of a spoiler.

The new studio is due to go live in spring 2023.

Thursday 22nd December

6.30pm Technical glitch affects BBC News at Six lead story package

An odd glitch affected the lead story about ambulance delays on the BBC News at Six.

Whilst the audio played out fine the visuals were stuck on a frame from later in the package. However, the situation was quickly recovered by the director.

Within seconds we were returned to the studio where the monolith screen was already primed with the graphics for the next story in the running order, about rail fare increases. Presenter Reeta Chakrabarti apologised for the technical issue and quickly moved on to the link for that story.

The report on ambulance delays was played out in full later in the programme.

11.45pm BBC branding inconsistencies just keep coming

If you’re a regular reader of our site/Twitter feed, you’ll be more than familiar with the raft of inconsistencies concerning the rollout of the BBC’s new logo.

The first significant release of the new masterbrand was in October 2021. Over a year later, many new productions still use the 1997 version of the BBC blocks. The EastEnders titles/credits being one of the more high-profile examples.

We’ve singled out two examples from Christmas Day on BBC One – particularly notable, as they include both the 1997 and 2021 version of the BBC blocks.

The first example is the 2022 Christmas special of Mrs Brown’s Boys. Old logo within the opening titles; old and new logo on the endboard.

On Christmas Night started with the old BBC logo and ended with the new one.
