Stings, Bumpers and Idents

Just to make it more confusing - breakbumpers on ITV are referred to as "opticals". Don't ask me why... the term "breakbumper" makes more sense...!

"Home To Roost" on ITV3

The reason the ITV3 frontboards and endboards are random (ie: some are left on and some are removed) depends on who is prepping the tape for TX (that is, checking timings - not compliance, not dubbing). No official guidance or anything - just personal decision really!

Tonight's Saturday Night Takeaway Question

Orry Verducci posted:
If my memory serves me right, on November 1st last year ITV1 started giving UTV, Scottish, ect. a clean feed instead of one full of ITV graphics. I guess the names were broadcast using the same computer that does all the other graphics. In this case, it would only have been added to the London Feed and not the Network Feed which UTV and the rest rely on. Obviously accidental, they probably no longer have a graphics computer hooked to the Network Feed, only the London Feed used by the regions now known as ITV1.


The graphic was added to the Network feed taken by everyone except STV & UTV. STV & UTV take a clean feed prior to the DSK/mixer, which meant they missed out on the competition names. Bummer - one of the contestants was from County Durham!

Tonight's Saturday Night Takeaway Question

The caption was run direct from TX.

In reply to the first post, it was: "for reasons beyond our control"... (yes, namely the programme had been pre-recorded).
