    Apart from the new graphics in the opening titles and larger captions, there isn't much difference so far.

    News is just news I supppose.

    Oh, and no Sharon. :eek:

    Looks much worse than the old style ones IMO, which I had grown accustomed to.

    I always say that every time they change graphics on TV news.

    "This is terrible. I hate this. Why did they change it?"

    Cut to a few months later...... "Did they change the graphics? Can't remember what the old ones even looked like."

    Cut to a few years later when they make another change: "This is terrible. I hate this. Why did they change it?"










    Although I don't like the new look myself!

    They actually introduced this sort-of-new look on Saturday.

    The previous look lasted five years - so, in all fairness, it was probably time for a change of some sort.

    They've merely re-recorded the theme tune, however. When was the last time they came up with a new look for the news without coming up with a new theme tune as well? :eek:

    I like the theme tune and it should stay long term and become a kind of catch to recognisably announce RTE news. I like the new graphics. I thought it was strange for a few minutes but I think it's veyr current and clean and professional looking. It's a big improvement over the previous one.

    Worth pointing out that BBC News's beeps-and-drums theme tune has been used for a stonking 15 years now, albeit with a fair bit of tinkering along the way.

    I'm not sure if any of the tunes used for RTE News have lasted quite as long - certainly, the current one is the longest-running since the 1980s.

    The theme tune is absolutely awful. I have always thought that. You would think when they half heartedly updated the graphics that they would change the theme music. It grates on me! RTE should take a leaf out of the UK news channells, lovely sets, graphics, theme music. So watchable!

    And so expensive.

    We should have gone for something like fox news have, totally OTT.

    As I've already said, this is the first time in a very long while that a new look for the news has been unveiled without a new theme tune to go with it... ;)

    Looks really cheap. A friend remarked that it looked like something off of France 24.

    The 'RTE News' bit is also on a white background on a white background. Absolutely pointless.

    You can expect a new look to News now in a few weeks as well to have it looking the same thats what they told me in a tweet

    I like the new(ish) look, but I cannot un-see that. It's like they added that bit in with Microsoft Paint, but didn't know to make the background transparent.
