I think they'll keep the Buerk/Sissons split that they've had on the '9' for years.
As for the titles, I predict they'll be boring and have very similar titles with a rotating '10' in them. Certianly they'll keep the red and beige.

100000000000000000/1 Chris Morris - though he'd be very good!

BBC News switched from a red circle behind the world map to blue ones in the late seventies/early eighties, and a red background to a blue one on the circular Venetian blind logo in the mid-eighties.
As pink-loving Bruce Gyngell pointed out: The grammar of television means that news should be blue.

There were complaints when the Nine O'Clock news when it changed from a transparent back-drop with grey to a blue backdrop for the '92 election campain. Some people thought it was favouring the Tories.
The venetian blind titles changed because they got rid of the blinds set. News came from the blue set used for the SIX and 9 bulletins, so the title colour was changed to match.
Anyway, the current BBC News colours are based on the BBC 1 balloon, and their are probably no plans to change that as yet...
>1000/1 Jill Dando
Only a 1000/1 eh? wow.
Sarcasm Andrew, you know even though Robert Dougall and Jill Dando are dead, they're still more likely to get the job than Anna Ford. Well I thought it was funny...
Aparently it will still be Sissons and Buerk - according to the Daily Telegraph.

Interesting, if they do. There has been a lot of talk going to a single main anchor, following every other major bulletin.
To do so would give the programme a greater identity and increase press coverage. However, maybe the BBC has decided that it's above all that. Good for it, if it has.
