I don’t like it either, who decided that the live video camera behind the presenter should be replaced by a CGI graphic? Also they have changed exactly nothing about the studio except some colour tweaks.
This is a great example of "changing things just for the sake of it when nothing needed to be changed". Reporting Scotland is not the News Channel, but it’s being presented like it is.
I honestly don't see what the problem was with the old titles. The Reith update from a few months ago looked good and the music still stood up. Change for the sake of change.
The new titles just look like a mock re-colouring of the national titles with a couple of dodgy made up shots thrown in for good measure. The music doesn't really match them either, in my opinion - it doesn't go anywhere particularly.
Also, has anyone noticed that the globe on the holding animation in the studio is just static with some white rings going over the top of it every so often?
