Errr.... No. How very, very correct actually. When ITN produced five News, they were responsible only for the content. As Martin says, the music, logos etc are down to the head honchos at five.

Indeed.
Think about it, freddy...
It's IT N that provide the news for ITV1, but the on screen branding for the output is "IT V News" - the channel name, not the news provider's name. Thus proving that it is the channel/broadcaster (whatever) that decides on the "cosmetic" considerations (e.g. name, colour scheme, title sequence etc).
Indeed. So, freddy, if Five News does have a very "Sky" orientated look, it will be because Five want it that way, not because Sky have forced it upon Five.

five may however choose to adopt a Sky News branded style, if they wanted to capitalise on the reputation of Sky, but five have never adopted any form of ITN's branding in the past, so is it likely?

How will five get away with not carrying *any* news for 2 whole days? Surely OfCom wouldn't allow that.

Wasn't Freddy the one who was agreeing with Martin? It was The World Today who seemed to have the wrong idea.
