SBS World News

It’ll be rather interesting to see what the new set for SBS World News will be like.

Knowing that the logo will be tweaked, I’d presume there’ll be some form of new or tweaked graphics with this relaunch.

But what about the theme music? Are we expecting SBS World News to keep the current version of that (which I believe has been used since 2005 - probably the longest running news theme on Australian TV at this point in time) or should we expect an updated version?

OK, I’m calling it now.

Could this new look (and possibly sound) be the best On-Air Presentation package that SBS World News has ever had? Because judging by what I’ve seen so far…

Beats the awful 2004-07 one that’s for sure!

What I would like to see with the new graphics:

  1. show the exact place or region name where the incident occurred rather than just a country name. For example, a report on the current wildfire around LA should have a caption showing Los Angeles or California instead of just United States
  2. Do not try to cover the graphics on reports by foreign networks especially ABC America and Al-Jazeera.

It appears that SBS are “saving the surprise” for 6.30pm - just saw an update recorded in the newsroom (recorded at/around 4pm judging by the appearance of the “Seven News Sydney First at 4pm” titlecard on one of the screens) with the old graphics & theme music not too long ago!

Looks fantastic. Let’s hope they actually use panning shots for once to show the set off.
