Anyone else notice today that UTV were using a lighter shade of blue on the lunchtime news today? The background in the studio also seems a lot less blue than it did before. Compare:
Blue used today:

As opposed to the blue used previously:

And the different background:

Could this be the first indication of a change to blend in with the new ITV News?

The lighting level on the UTV Live studio background has varied. When the current look launched the backdrop was very bright. As a result the lighting on the presenters had to be increased too - to the point where you could see every wrinkle. Bet Kate loved that. The backdrop lights then seemed to be dimmed a little allowing more normal lighting on the presenters, though it being UTV it's hard to tell whether this was deliberate or whether some bulbs blew.

He did that yesterday on the lunchtime news as well.
Did you really expect Mary to? She seems to have replaced Trevor McDonald.

Looks like Mark Austin will be appearing in four bulletins a day - as well as hosting the Evening and Nightly News, he's on the Lunchtime News previewing the Evening News, and of course also appears in a trailer on the regional news at 6pm.
Long day for Mark then - you'd expect Mary to be on hand to do the Lunchtime preview.

Sacked hopefully. Dreadful Presenter, just like Steve Scott and Leyla. Lisa Knights is much better.

Re: UTV - did they change the astons. I know they used to use a doctored version of the ITV News astons (though I don't know if they were still using these!)
P.S. Anyone know where Felicity has got too? She's not been seen since Christmas!

When you leave school and get a job, and rise up through your profession, perhaps making it big one day, i'm gonna be the first one to rub my hands and gloat non stop when you lose your job, or get sacked, or whatever.
You're a nasty, pathetic fool.
I suppose you think it's funny to write what you did. But then you're probably a thick chav who will sponge off the state for the rest of your life, and never do a hard days work.
Grow up.

Oh really, so people are not allowed to not like someone now? It's not my fault she is a boring presenter.

It's one thing to say that you don't happen to like a particular presenter for whatever reason; it's something else to wish them ill in their career.
Whilst Dog and I have seldom agreed in the past, I do think it's important to remember that we are talking about REAL people and their lives and careers when we discuss presenters here.
Saying that you hope someone has been sacked is hardly very mature.

Anyone would think I wished someone to be dead, and plus many people would think this about someone anyway. She probably would not care if I got the sack, so why should I?
