Booms, bangs, beep tunes and countdown timers, BBC news has fallen into the abyss! The loud noises seriously hurt my hearing ... what exactly is the point?The newscasters must have a 'BOOM' button that they press, sometimes after each and every announcement, why doesn't the BBC realise how annoying this is?I believe that the BBC believes this projects an 'air of importance' alongside their statements of 'unrivalled reporting' ... it's all part of their self admiration! The reality is altogether different, their reporters ask questions and when someone tries to reply they constantly interrupt or break off in mid interview for ... the weather! considering the weather is on many times per hour and doesn't change much over 10 minutes or so this is inexcusable! With a few exceptions, the quality of the interviewing is dreadful. The BBC should take a look at Channel4 to see what quality reporting looks like. The BBC must also think that we are all illiterate and stupid as they feel the need to constantly remind us that we are watching BBC news!
