The only thing missing is a little snowplow along the top like we were treated to on Fox NFL over the weekend.
Oh and guys? Don't place your silly CNBC bug over the already hard-to-read ticker.
Un freakinbelievable.

OK I finally saw the new charts this morning. It looked great once I closed my good eye and squinted, I felt like I could put my hand right into the chart and touch the price. The other great thing about is that I was running a 100-yard dash and needed an accurate timer and that wonderful clock on the charts which takes the time out 4 decimal places basically to thousandths was perfect to nail my time in the dash. I finished at 8:01:34:16 AM.
Also, having the fat host report right from the floor was great! Watching him studder his way through the announcements was like watching Spider from Goodfellas tell Tommy "I-I-I thought you said, though you said you waz all right S-Spider". No you are not alright Haynes you stuttering prick ya!. Nothing like taking a fat man from behind the desk and putting him standing up in open space.
I think they now need a band off to the side like Kevin Eubanks on the Tonight Show. When Mark is talking about a stock he can look off to Kevin and make a joke right before he brings out Pamela Anderson or Carrie Underwood singing from the floor.
I bet the 20-year old programmer who was given then job of re-designing the graphics is getting a nice bonus!

I took another look today and, yep, still gawd awful.
What they need to do is run one of their little polls and ask:
Squawk Question of the Day
How do you like our new format?
1. Love it - 1 (producer's wife voted)
2. Don't care - 0
3. Hate it and I hope you all die - 26,903,058,676,354,095,234,985...

Yeah, the tickers bother me the most. You can get at least a little "market feel" (and I need all the help I can get!) even with your peripheral vision as you are doing other things.
Not now. My TV is a Wal-mart Sanyo cheapie, but it's new and looks fine on other channels. And I don't feel like trying to adjust it and stretch out the picture size to accommodate CNBC. I don't know if those controls are even supplied (on TVs, of course monitors have them) external to the case nowadays .
