Look North and North East Tonight

I kinda prefer the current studio for NE Tonight, rather than Look North. - The NET studio is just so.... modern! I also dislike the BBC's 'We're trying to pretend this is a window in the background of the studio, when its really just a telly with bars over the top' idea! It would work, if only the picture on the TV wasnt so poor (How many windows do you know of that flicker, or go off sometimes?)

TV Whirl - Revision 5

Well isnt this rich. Lycos now has decided that the site violates their terms and conditions (Probably its an excuse for when a site uses too much bandwidth from their Unlimited Bandwidth but never mind). Basically it means the updates above are all offline. I will not be beaten by them however, and will have the site fully online again as soon as possible, however we're talking weeks rather than days here!

TV Whirl - Revision 5

Well, still on the same host, but there has been an update. 4 new files. 2 showing the opening and full closing sequences to Home and Away in 1997. An audio file for Pokemon Series 4, and the opening sequence to the first series of Watership Down.

TV Whirl - Revision 5

I'd already thought of that slight problem, but I may be changing the hosts within a week or so, eliminating the problem. (perhaps putting the index somewhere different to all the other pages). That and the search still need a bit tweaking.

TV Whirl - Revision 5

No, the site hasnt died, its just Ive been spending a few weeks on a big update, and hence havent gotten round to starting a thread for it.

Anyway, Im assuming everyone knows what the site is from the old ikonboard thread - namely presentation, news, Watership Down etc, so I'll just say whats new in this update.

LDN 2002 - HeHe! Useful having Digital!

That took some effort... and that was the brief rundown!(basically theres 45 files in total)

Theres also now a status window on the homepage, as the hosts have been going down alot recently, and a search thing. These are both ran off an incredibly slow host at the moment, but I hope to have that changed in a few weeks time!

What I find annoying is it doesnt come out on the 30th, as they had been saying it probably would. According to Comet, it aint released now until the middle of April!

Yorkshire Television

The same thing happened with Tyne Tees' weather a few weeks back. The sponsorship with Northern Electric ran out, and they've gone back to the titles used for a brief time in September 2000.

Perhaps all of the GMG weather sponsorships are running out at the moment.

UTV IVC in 16:9

Ah.... is that who that guy is! You learn something new every day.
er... of course I...um already knew that thoughhttp://members.lycos.co.uk/tvrevision2/forum2/images/openbb/smiley/embarrassed.gif

i t v DIGITAL is almost gone now!

Well I just feel I have to laugh at ITV. Had the service hit this huge scandal under the ON Digital name, I wouldn't have found it so sweet.

What I find good is that ITV's name was slapped on the service to try and make it look better. Now that its in trouble, its ITV's reputation as a whole which is going to suffer. Serves them right I say!!

I like watching Channel 5 at that time. You see Im in one of the areas of the country that gets the special Analogue interactive version, with games.

Basically the game is 'Guess the programme' which I have to do by looking at the vague fuzzy outlines I recieve. Its tremendous fun!!!

i t v DIGITAL is almost gone now!

That must be a slight misunderstanding on the part of the Guardian. From what I've read, if the sport deal cannot be negotiated, the ITV Sport Channel(Not ITV Digital) could close within weeks.

Of course, without the ITV Sport Channel, ITV Digital has very little left to stay afloat, but I think the entire platform will last more than a few weeks.(Give it a few months)

Yorkshire Television

and yet Channel 4 uses that incredibly strong-Geordie guy for voiceovers. I have to say, but I may be wrong here, I think he has a bit of a faint North East accent.
