Newsday got new titles too!
The titles are actually very decent. Something similar would look very good on all the UK local bulletins.
I presume the bells in the background are from the footage from the top headline, because itâs very annoying.
The latest iterations such as Newsday and The World Today look quite good. The original variants such as âNews Nowâ look shocking.
The bells are from the New York Stock Exchange opening bell, which I think theyâre going to be broadcasting every day from now on.
Then hereâs Business Today from London:
And in Singapore:
Following the tradition from The World Today, it reused a track from 2013:
thank god the bell is only for the NYSE edition
wouldâve loved them to bring back the OG WBR music tho
looks like a lot of the changes has been under the hood - new control room stuff, and a rebuild of automation

They got rid of the Mishal Husain voice over
To celebrate 25 years since the original rendition of the BBC News theme, BBC have been using special TOTH countdown countdowns today.
1999 theme:
Sick!
Bring it back! Such a great variant.
IS THAT GEETA GURU MURTHY? ARE THE SQUAD BACK!? đ«¶đ»
itâs so refreshing to hear the older variants again, the current version is now pretty tired, so wouldnât mind if they bought back one the older variants fulltime
(hasnât featured yet on todayâs countdowns, the 2003 countdown remix will always be my favourite)
Apparently Martine Croxall is also meant to be back this month.
Doing a quick search on YouTube and reading a few articles, the BBC seems to have given them all their jobs back and embraced them to avoid further legal ramifications and settle the matter.
Martine Croxall has been posted above, seen rehearsing in the refurbished studio E.
Geeta Guru-Murthy and Annita McVeigh have been appointed chief presenters which is great. Seemingly no more random freelancers presenting.
Havenât seen anything yet regarding Karin Giannone and Kasia Madera
Karin is definitely coming back - she posted about it on Twitter. I think Kasia is too but I donât know for certain.
