The presenters were never consistent, changing very frequently.  Due to the political nature of the programme it was probably the most watched on the station - usually by other campus hacks eager to see their friends.  When the programme went online in October 2004 it was one of the most-watched on the website, with each edition attracting hundreds oh hits.  Despite this Bona Dicta was often derided for being stale, or dull, or unexciting to crew.

In 2003 the show adopted the new news and current affairs standard set, along with a new title sequence at the end of the year. It was produced by [[Steve Walker]], and featured the new Bona Dicta logo flying around Central Hall.  The new producer and presenter was Michael Brothwell, now a presenter on BBC Radio York.  Soon after [[James Gallagher]] became a regular presenter of the programme, which doubled in length and began debating national politics as well as campus politics.

From autumn 2004 Matthew Platts took charge, adding many surreal elements.  For the final year of the programme [[Kev Larkin]] presented and produced, when the format also changed to mimick the BBC's This Week.  There was also another new look, featuring images from around York and London.  However by this point UGM's had been taken online, and political apathy in York was increasing, and as a result the programme ended regular production in March 2006.  {{unsure|However it will return}} for this year's traditional Student Union Elections debate programmes, meaning it must be one of the few programmes on YSTV to notch up ten year on air (other than coverage of events such as Elections, Roses etc).
