I like it, but then again I'm a great believer in copious whitespace improving readability, and that's basically all they've done.
I would imagine that they've figured that as the majority of their readers have more than 800x600 or even 1024x768 monitors these days, they can add in the extra whitespace and make it easier on the eye. The judicious use of whitespace for this purpose is something that was well known to printers right back to the days of letterpress printing, but got rather lost when we had to make stuff fit on to comparatively cramped screens.
FWIW the folks at the Beeb News online team study these things very closely before making a change, or at least used to the last time I was there - a long time ago now, yet the current design isn't tremendously different from what was implemented with the move to using CSS in late 1999.

I hate the new BBC site. I much preferred the old one, and had come to enjoy its familiar layout and style. Now its all changed, and it will never be the same again. /cry

I much prefered the old, compact one to this.
Not impressed - waste of taxpayers money!

If you look at the root page it's gone all igoogle/web2.0 which is quite cool.
Loads of wasted space on the root page... seen that a while ago - plenty of room for improvement.

I still think the Beeb suffers from info blindness on the main page - trying to impart way too much info on the first page - they need to take a close look at their IA, do some user scenario testing, content analysis and 'funnel' people properly into the relevant content.
Having a LH menu split between regions and subjects clouds it a little, the whole thing needs reshuffling - I don't think they've cracked it yet - too many competing CTAs on the one page, not enough distinction between them.

DUH! What a dizzy cow I am. There's me saying "Wonder what RealityHack makes of it", when his post was the one right before mine!

Don't know about that - the layout is simpler and the fonts have been dramatically improved. I think it's a lot more readable now. They don't need the double masthead though - they could incorporate the search in the red one and lose the black one.

Wonder what RealityHack makes of it, as I gather that's his speciality. Maybe it _is_ more ergonomic etc, but all the same. Ugh!

Thanks for the warning BBC!
Had hardly any sleep last night, went onto the Beeb's site this morning, found the same - also that their News24 streaming service was down.
It's all a bit surreal today - with a hell of a lot of work to do. Perhaps I can procrastinate until midday before I start to panic.

I liked the old one. It would have been a better change if they put online BBC1/2/3 rather than just BBC24.
