My sources tell me that it's actually a static transparency backdrop - the one you saw earlier in the week (on the Tuesday caps) was the design originally sent to Abingdon in December. Apparently when the new set was built it was lit and dressed for the 2004 ITV regional style. Then they decided to wait until Jan 16th to go with the new set, so it was re-dressed and re-lit. That's why they've been in the 'soft area' for so long...

It's a projection screen, it was showing a different image in one of the earlier previews. I'd say it was tiny by old standards ten or fifthteen years ago, tiny now days means the size of the Meridian studios! You can just about fit the presenters in those studios.

It's a shame that CNsouth have gone for the Meridian option of having a totally ambiguous backdrop.
CNeast proved that just because you've got cardboard instead of a projector screen, you can still have a City backdrop.
It would have been nice if CNsouth had a teal-tinted photograph of Oxford in the backdrop. Oh well.

Yes it is ambiguous!
It doesn't feature anything specifically South Midlandsy. The still shot on the backdrop is of just a swirly column of light - rather than one of the more region-specific clips from the title sequence! (All three Meridian sub-regions' cardboard backdrops look exactly the same as CNsouth's)

How much can there be for two presenters to do in a lunchtime bullitin really? Although it seems a nice idea I don't really see how long they'll continue with it.
On another note I must say that the Central South studio is one of the only ones I've seen that actually looks green , whereas most of the other ones seem to still have a very blueish tinge to them. I like it.

So, the D.O.G. on the regional news browser hasn't been updated!

Well it's hardly a top priority in a major and wide-reaching rebranding exercise.
