ITV Channel is moving headquaters - "The move is part of a significant investment in the news service that will see the installation of a modern newsroom and studio with the latest broadcast technology at the new premises."

Further detail: http://www.channelonline.tv/channelonline_jerseynews/displayarticle.asp?id=512032

Also, itv.com/news/channel has partially launched, could this be the end of ITV Channel's fully seperate website?

Hopefully with a lovely view for the news studio rather than a certain region's screens.
dbl, ASO and fanoftv gave kudos

As positive sounding as that article is, i'm guessing they're just downsizing. Their current premises is quite large for such a small region. Similar positive noise was made when ITV bought the company, and not so long later the cuts were made. I'm guessing Channelonline.tv will probably disappear too as has been said. It already kind of sticks out for an ITV region and still has Oscar Puffin on it despite being effectively an ITV News site, which makes no sense.

That Oscar Puffin video is awful, sounds like something CWilliams1976 would be proud of

I didn't know Oscar could talk, and has a Welsh accent ? As for 'CW', I assume he's too busy working
for London Live to find any time for You Tube contributions ?

They still didn't give him the CA gig though!

channelonline.tv is (or was previously) a lot more than just a news site, which is why it was retained, but the level of non-news content does seem to have been cut down recently.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw this News...it's happened in so many Regions previously so this is no surprise.

Extremely sad news indeed.

channelonline.tv has now been replaced by itv.com/news/channel, which like the other itv plc regions, is now little more than a news site. I expect this reduction in non-news content (which was quite significant at one point) is related to the move and associated job cuts.

Oscar Puffin still has a presence, for now at least (which isn't that easy to find, you have to go to the Jersey or Guernsey news pages to find the link), but the weekly online episodes seem to have stopped, and the page is now just a single blog post: http://www.itv.com/news/channel/topic/oscar-puffin/

The move happened last month, as discussed here.
