BBC is updating its visual identity tomorrow at 6am.

- BBC One, Two and Four will have a new look.
- BBC iPlayer and Sounds will also change, with improved navigation coming over the next few months.

There’s also an adjusted BBC logo, with new icons to represent different parts of the BBC (News, Weather, iPlayer, Sounds etc)

“The first changes will appear on linear TV this Wednesday morning, with visual changes to iPlayer and Sounds coming early next year.”

“iPlayer + Sounds will continue to change over the next six months and beyond, while News, Weather, Sport and Bitesize will follow after that.”

“BBC One, Two and Four will start to look and feel different across all nations, plus BBC Scotland and BBC Alba.”

Full blog announcing the changes by BBC has just been announced here: bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/ar…

There’s been a lot of talk about whether changes to BBC One are going ahead, but from what I’ve heard from them, it appears it will.

A BBC spokesperson has confirmed to me that the new look will mean the end of the “Oneness” idents. Goodbye!

For those who love debating logos at length, spot the difference between the new one and the old one (new one is the top one).

ONENESS UPDATE: Several sources have been in touch to confirm that Oneness is being phased out, but they will continue to appear as part of the new look.

BBC spokesperson confirmed they made a mistake. These are continuing … for now.

Basically, think of it as a long goodbye.

Channel 4 new statement on subtitles:
- They say that subtitles are being tested on Channel 4 and More 4 during the day. They said that live subtitling was also possible for Stand Up to Cancer.
- Bake Off, Gogglebox and Extra Slice will have subtitles on catch-up on All 4.

- They add “we know it is not good enough, but it’s a start.”
- They say fixing it is a ‘complex job’ and all testing has been overnight to not risk C4 falling off air again.
- Full access services might not be available until the middle of November (!)

- Cannot rush rebuilding new system “but there is considerable amount of work to be done.”
- “Unfortunately, at the moment we cannot provide audio description or sign language services at all. These services were irretrievably lost during the incident…”

Andrew Neil is pulling no punches about GB News in the Daily Mail

It’s a hell of a piece.

He also talked about an incident when they couldn’t interview anyone outside their building for his own show.

And what did he think of Dan Wootton, who directly followed him in the schedules?

BBC has announced that Waterloo Road is returning! It is part of its new commitment of having two long running drama series made across the UK.

BBC: “The revival of Waterloo Road will boost drama production skills in the North of England and help to reshape the BBC's drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country.”

Ironically, Waterloo Road had moved to Glasgow - before the show was axed in 2015.

As @BBCSimonMcCoy has said he is leaving BBC News, here is a thread of his best bits.

Starting with this iconic Royal Baby announcement:

When he absolutely lost it whilst reporting on this man who plays the piano to monkeys

When someone on his team put words in the autocue just to troll him
