Brighton's Latest TV

This proves what a good decision Mustard made commissioning some virtual sets rather than using the off the shelf stuff.

I thought the Mustard set was off the shelf too - I'm sure someone posted a link a while ago.

Think it was made for Mustard originally and has since been made available on the open market. I was more referring to the American style virtual sets that come pre-loaded on the tri-caster systems.

Latest are by far the best with news - their bulletins pack a lot in to them on quite dense issues.

You certainly wouldn't get a three and a half minute report on McDonalds like made in Bristol did

It may be better than the rest, but I have reservations about a news service telling me a bank has "unparalleled customer service" and "24/7 real people answering real questions".

Sure, it's TV quality edited, I'll give them that.

Mmm... That whole thing does seem a bit... advert-y; however it was, at least, well put together.

Anyone any captures from Bay TV in Liverpool?

It was someone sat in front of a picture of Liverpool last I saw. Is a cap around sometime showing it literally taped to the wall.



I haven't caught the weekday bulletin in a while but they seem to fill most of their weekend schedule with something called 'The Week in View' - a load of packages, one straight after another, topped and tailed by a pre-recorded intro and outro in front of the above photograph. Usually on a loop with ad breaks in between each showing. The reports are fairly watchable - they seem to be trying hard to find their own stories - but the whole thing lacks a bit of energy and pace on screen.

Title sting is the same as their Twitter photo: 'news' in Arial/Helvetica under the station logo - https://twitter.com/baytvnews - with the same music as the station break bumpers (not at all newsy).

This set is now everywhere. Even my school has one for student production. Looks rather cheap actually.

That looks completely wrong. Had to have a good laugh at it.

The Midland on Big Centre TV at 5.30. Apologies for not getting grabs of the titles, but it's a Print Screen job.

I think they should have called the channel BCTV. IMO BigCentre TV is so mouthy.
