They have their own building. There appears to be only one studio as both STUDIO Disney and Diggin'it use the same studio tweaked for each show. There are more studios as u can see a door marked studio 2 sometimes when studio disney show the corridor leading to the studio; im not sure where Playhouse Disney comes from; or is all of that recorded?
They have been broadcasting from the roof and have once walked through the building with an actress playing the queen; and its based in London, as you can see the lovely landscape from the roof.
The new guy above is Matt Arnold, ex HTV and Sky Sports. He is GMTV's new North of England correspondent replacing Duncan Wood, and will stand in on the sofa now and again.
That was about right - I think in the Diggit days UOTR was first but they kept switching round...
For the summer Diggin'it starts at 6.30 followed by UOTR.
And just to correct a previous post: Disney does not own Fox Kids US (in fact in the States the channel is called Fox Family) - but Disney does own a large share of Fox Kids Europe. When they first bought it they mooted renaming FK UK as Disney something, but that appears to have been dropped for now. Sky Ventures owns a stake in FK UK through the Fox/Sky connection (SV also own a share of Nick) and FK owns Saban. UOTR shows are sourced from various producers including WB (who distribute Pokemon and X Men Evo) and Saban/FKE, Diggin'It is produced by (and features programmes from) Disney.
Slightly wrong. http://www.foxkids.com proves that Fox Family and Fox Kids
are NOT the same channel!
They share a transponder, like Fox Kids and Sky 2 did when they launched here. Also Saban shows are distributed by Buena Vista now (part of Disney!) Diggin It shows the Incredible Hulk, which is not made by Disney, but by Marvel Enterprises - franchised to Saban, I believe. Crowdman, your info is simply out of date!
But I am certain Pokemon and XME definitley (sp?) come from WB.
(Pokemon is on Kids WB in the States, and XME is from Cartoon Network, which is part of AOL-TimeWarner. (The previous X-Men series came from the same team as the Spiderman '90s animation, hence this version is on Fox Kids UK.)
It might just be me, but do any Scottish viewers of GMTV find it odd that Sarah Heaney has been on for months talking about all manner of things like bikinis and make-up, and today was shaving and waxing her legs for us -- and then later appears reading the main evening news programme?
I somehow just can’t picture Lucy Cohen, Christine Talbot or Alastair Stewart on the side of that bath there, and then be taken seriously presenting the news later on. Especially not in Scotland.. Well I suppose anyone is better than Helen Adams.
The lack of the Sunday Programme on GMTV during the summer makes the GMTV News stand out, and its quite obvious that its probably only there because GMTV have a contractual obligation to show it. Hardly anyone probably watches it as the ITV Morning News has just been on and "Childrens Programmes" (as the presenter calls it, I think it was Claudia Zerbasis) calls it. It's also funny having the newsreader introduce Boobah!
This morning they had a look at the front pages meaning a second camera angle from the newsdesk, looking down on the desk and towards an empty GMTV sofa
