It's not on Border and I didn't see it on Tyne Tees either.
Do any GMG North regions use it?
GMG North don't use it, the regions which are transmitted from LNN and Carlton Central have it, but GMG North doesn't have it as they apparently don't have the technology to play out such a shorth piece of tape apparently.
its only just started here in the Carlton Central region
That PROBABLY (but NOT definitely) means that Central transmission has moved to LNN today.
Which in turn would PROBABLY (but NOT definitely) mean that Leeds are now sufficiently up-to-speed to act as the standby transmission site for the South Bank, thus allowing Birmingham to be closed down and dispensed with.

So I suppose this really is the end of an era where regional ITV stations play out and are responsible for their own transmission.
There is also a fairly new breakflash, not sure if all regions use it yet though... It came in with the new look CITV - yes, it's a CITV breakflash in red,yellow & blue...
I hope ITV finally (like the BBC) manages to get all the regional weather and news programmes using some sort of corporate look, rather than this mess we have today.
Once ITV has to it's pres and corporate brand sorted out, they can work on some decent programming.
