ITV National Weather now being sponsored by Checkatrade. They already sponsor the weather on GMB.

I saw that on STV and actually thought they had decided to scrap SSE as the sponsor and go with someone else has they have been known to do on the past.

The Checkatrade sponsor up here is branded 'STV National Weather' which is slightly wrong but never mind...

Isn't that one instance where the ITV branding actually SHOULD be used in the STV region?

Wasn't it just titled "National Weather" on the STV stings?

I'm sure it was ITV National Weather. I think the only variant of it was for UTV as they have SSE Airtricity and instead of SSE.

Broadcasters tend not to scrap sponsors on a whim - it’s almost certain that SSE decided not to continue their sponsorship deal, and so a replacement was found.

STV have been known in the past to have a completely different sponsor as to what the rest of the UK has.

The SSE sponsorships had been relatively recently changed from "ITV National Weather" (both visually & verbally) to "National Weather" (visually) / " The National Weather" (verbally).

Presumably, STV previously had different sponsorship, and the change was to make the SSE ones neutral for ITV/STV?
