Talking of titles, I wonder why Granada News play the entire title sequence out at the end of their programmes... usually its only the short sting.

If you look at the Granada News & Granada Reports Logos on the Plasma, they look different than the ones on the Oepning Sequence, I wonder if a change of Titles is on the Cards.


I didn't mention anything about the plasma caption, I just said talking of titles. The ones on the plasma are use a lighter blue colour.

Granada News could change their titles to the new blue colour, seeing as two other regions have 'customised' their titles - London who use a diagonal sting & title sequence and Meridian who use a lot of black in their sequence & sting.

All the background on the plasma is, is the moving squares background featured in most of ITV's regional news story graphics, like what used to be in the old Granada studio. some other regions uses those aswell, I think Anglia Tonight.

Peter Berry is back today, although he sounded slightly unwell.

I am wondering if Louisa Preston was just covering last week while So Rahman and Anna Thomas were possibly on Holiday.

With it being Easter Week, Tony and Lucy could be off, we may see changes on Granada Reports too.

It will be interesting to see how Granada gear up to the General Election.

It was good to see Peter Berry back on the 10.55am today, he did look a bit more comfier in the new set, though he didn't appear to sound unwell. Nice little blooper during that bulletin as the screen behind him just went blank when he was presenting.

I believe the guy in the pic is Andy Bonner, though I'm not 100% certain. I'm not great on names. Faces, well, that's a different story Smile
