It’s a bit odd that they changed the promo styles to all finish on those “Watch on IPLAYER”, “Listen on SOUNDS” full screen endboards, only to change it a few months later with the icons now taking centre stage

Not odd, but rather genius. It was a placeholder for the "MAIN THING." I see it that it was not shown initially so that when the rebrand goes full steam, the main logo would be seen as okay, and the icons would be introduced as a new visual link for the BBC's services. Very nice idea from the BBC.

The BBC Sounds app on Android has the new BBC Radio logos included in it for the 1st time. One criticism that I see in it is from BBC News NI. They are doing a news update on that station right now. However they are still using the BBC News NI box with the old Gill Sans/Reith logo.

Same with Radio 5 Live simulcasts on other stations overnight.

i firmly believe that it's a universal rule in brand guides to not mock up your own versions of a logo.

on another note, how does the team over there see that and think it looks good?

like, seriously, how?

I literally just burst out laughing,

Bearing in mind you could have just searched Radio 1 logo on Google and used that, but no, someones actually taken to time to build their own version,

What the hell!

What I still find incredible about that is not just that it looks bad, but that it’s a bad copy of North West Tonight’s titles, and doing so no doubt took a lot more time and effort than had they simply asked NWT nicely for their After Effects files so they could customise them properly.
The looped "Coming Up" filler message that plays out on BBC Radio 5 (Live?) Sports Extra during the endless hours when there isn't any actual live sport on it doesn't verbalise the word "Live" as part of the station name at all.

Is the word "Live" now explicitly *not* part of the Sports Extra station's official name at all?

Yes. They are no longer named as such. Even BBC Sounds website (and maybe app) updated the page about Radio 5 Sports Extra, no longer includes "Live". BBC annual plan also confirmed it.
Nice little animation at the end of the Glastonbury trail, with the iPlayer icon changing into the Sounds one.

Looks nice!  Here's a gif of the animation:

It's not that it doesn't look good, but that it looks redundant and something that will look a bit tired after some time; just leave the main endobard alone, with bits added
hey, lookit!

Simply the new BBC mnemonic, but recoloured. Not surprised. The same might happen for Cymru Wales and Scotland.
