This is very disappointing

Apparently BBC World has seen fit to replace their old countdown theme-the one that sounded like an apocalyptic rave-with a new remix in January of this year. It was bad enough when they replaced the " ribbon around the world" ident with the " BBC transmits its news through red death rays that break the laws of physics" montage.

Is nothing sacred

I will never stop listening, though.

BBC World Service is part of my morning routine when I'm driving.

Yeah, we get the BBC World Service here, but we don't get BBC World. Just that godawful BBC America.

You can sign the petition at http://demandbbc.com/. I don't actually have a TV anymore, which is why I didn't realize they'd changed the ident until now.

Ok, as in the TV network. Yeah, I forgot that existed until I was in Italy last month.
