Re: [backstage] Re: Question.. is denuding News 24 of its digits a brilliant idea?

I liked the '24', agree it gave the channel it's rolling news brand and sounded good at the same time. But with the attempt of giving it a chance - why not see how you feel after a week? Maybe it will grow. From the screenshots the new graphics look good, but haven't seen them on a TV as I haven't
