Midnight and nothing. Boo hoo.


I knew someone would post something like that straight away. Laughing
Somehow, if the relaunch is today, then ITV wouldn't be that exact and make sure the new look was up for exactly midnight.

Well the page for the first 'Web lives' is up, without a video it seems which they say will be up at 1pm Monday. What are they playing at.

I emailed ITV this morning and asked when the new site launches.

ITV Help posted:
We will be rolling out a new ITV broadband within weeks, which will allow users to watch programmes as live, catch up with missed shows and offer exclusive made-for-broadband content. We are not sure of the exact launch date yet but you can keep up to date with the latest information through our current website.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions. Again many thanks for taking the time to contact ITV.

But no-one had confirmed today would be the launch day; it was pure speculation due to the fact that the 'Web Lives' feature launches today. It may seem logical to you to launch the new website when adding one of the main features of the relaunched itv.com but ITV doesn't do things logically Wink

itv.com's new programme Web lifes is now online, and I have to say, it is quite pointless. A woman talking about on-line dating. Confused

If you have three minutes to spare: Clicky.

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned but the This Morning advert on the itv.com website displays the new logo.

Building a web site is not an easy task. It's not like punching a few lines into an amateurish Microsoft Word document, adding a clashing background image and uploading it with the browser. LOTS of things have to be coded, videos have to be encoded, pages have to be rewritten...

etc.
