At last, UTV has a local news service again - and hasn't Gilly Porter got big hair? I shouldn't slag her off really, she did an OK job at announcing last night, tshe alked over most of the idents even if they were the 5 second/old UTV jingle ones with a video freeze at the end Evil or Very Mad

Although why did UTV show a trailer in the junction before "The Good The Bad and the Ugly" and then an ident with a rushed link? They ended up fading in just at the end of the Motorola sponsor clip.

Shame I go back to England on Saturday, I've missed my daily doses of UTV.

And for the love of God, will UTV PLEASE stop showing that Watch to Win trailer during every junction - I'm pretty certain it's the same script Jules used last year about living on two beat eggs in a cup until June and it still gets on my nerves this time around.

I miss the strangest things... Wink

Looks like UTV changed their Christmas ident even though it will probably last a day. Instead of the light blue Merry Christmas end board, it's changed into last year's snowflakes and a scarily-sized UTV logo. I spotted it at 0955 this morning.

Why have they bothered changing it now - surely it's just a waste of time?

The reason why they have changed it is because, there christmas ident said, "Merry Christmas" You can't really keep that ident on air when christmas has passed.

It would of been more practical for them to change it to, "Happy New Year" or something like that.

Though the Snow-Flakes look nice.

Yes, good to see the 2003 snowflakes again, they were also used in the titles for the recent budget-busting School Around the Corner special on Christmas Eve.

Wonder if Jules will be on IVC duty tonight in his tuxedo like last year.

I see UTV have now dropped all of their christmas promotions.
