Andy B 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Here's a explanation into why they changed it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2007/01/changing_looks.html Caps thanks to "the eye" on TV Forum World Business Asia: Video: http://www.damiankovacs.com/caps/bbc-twt-07.rm http://www.damiankovacs.com/caps/bbc-wn-07.rm Looks good to me, the LIVE Strap is too bulky and can easily get cut off by overscan. Here what BBC News 24 looks like in Widescreen (thanks to Bail): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKyuubi 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 WOW. Those are the best graphics ever. Those would make awesome graphics on maybe, a network O&O? Well, those are your tax/license dollars at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinto 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Those BBC World screenshots and videos weren't working; here's a clip on YouTube. (more from that same user) I like this. The animation's a lot crisper than before, and I like the new bug/ticker placement. Never really liked the "tower" bug they were using before to begin with. The lower-thirds are a bit plain, but overall I'm digging the whole look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnson 15 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The only problem I've got with the BBC is the insistence on broadcasting in 14:9. Yes, you read right. Widescreen, sorta. The graphics are great, but why can't they do 16:9 like Sky and ITV? The graphics are really nice. The other nit is WLIW (KETC gets BBC World through them) is hacking up parts of the Early and Late bulletins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick question, if I may: Why don't they just broadcast in 16:9 and letterbox it? That's simply what networks (in the US/Canada) would do to show a movie in it's theatric aspect. It makes sense what they are doing, but I just wanted to toss that into the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
