With the exception of Southern, I believe this is the case.

I'm pretty sure TVS acquired all of Southern's archive, I thought it was Westcountry that
didn't get their hands on the TSW/Westward stock ?

Ah yes, that's now held by a charitable concern - I'm still not sure on Southern though - the programming archive definitely still belongs to the Australian parent company.

Do SET usually use that font for their live graphic? Looks out of place.

Yes, they do. It's the one bit of the current 'look' that sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb. Gill Sans text, perhaps?

That said, I was on my travels recently and noticed another English region have the same problem. Midlands Today, I think?

South Today seems to be the only region that's running a constant strap with which party has won each constituency within the region.

I'm surprised that all regions haven't been instructed to do this!

SET had the ticker on briefly.

Sally Taylor doing the late bulletin for the first time in quite a while!

She normally only appears on the 22:25 if she's strike breaking !

The font is correct (same as on Network) but it should be Bold .

It's not correct, that's Gill Sans Light - Network use Helvetica or variations/copies like Swis
