Yes it was similar to that, but it was on the plasma.

It looks like that image has been used in 3 places..

1. Scoreboard (as shown above)
2. Plasma
3. The little cut-outs on the bottom of the scoreboard

The 'scoreboard' screen is very nice - apart from the fact Tyne Tees decided to put text onscreen that was cut off on 4:3


Granade did the same with a score graphic too.http://www.thisisfive.co.uk/granadanews1.jpg

Granada's new titles:

There wasn't any footballs on the plasma for Central, bit odd. It was just the same background as they used when the plasma has 'Central News' on it! Confused

I don't like the transitions in the first half of the titles, where it's split in the middle, it just doesn't look right..

The start of the titles look like TONIGHT With Trevor McDonald Laughing

Tyne Tees had the spinning football behind the text, it's annoying the way they never get the camera angles right though. Normally some of it is cut off, or the presenter is sitting in front of the text.

Granada didn't have the spinning football either, and it was also missing from the full screen graphics too...

Also another problem with the bottom score graphic.

For some reason the full screen Football graphic (the straps at the top anyways) remind me of BBC News' astons.

Laughing Couldn't they have just put "Wolves" instead like Central did?!

Is Westcountry now the only ITV plc region that hasn't upgraded to W/S?

Yep, and also probably due to the proposal to merge West and Westcountry

Dare I say "foregone OFCOM approval" then? Rolling Eyes

I suppose we should be surprised we're not still on 405 Line B&W here! After all, it's the only area ITV plc decided not to put the sub-regions on DSat (the default is Westcountry South).
