Watched tonights East programme but I didnt notice where the split was? Was the first 15 minutes separate instead of the expected 6 minutes?

The split occurred after the LDV OB's (around 12 minutes in), East then rejoined about 5 minutes later (which was when the new sting was played).

But the programmes both had different opening titles?

Right, to clarify... East opted out after the first headline to show their variant of the titles and the headlines, whilst West showed their version of the titles and headlines. After this, it was then cut back live to the studio (as seen in the shot below).
They used to be the other way round in the West studio... probably the reason for the mistake!

The set does look very good IMO, at least the way it's begin used with the extra monitor! The lighting on the backdrop is good - thank goodness it isn't still blue, as many regions thought would be fine when the colour scheme changed in '06.
Why, thank you. Your indignation and imbecility never ceases to amaze me, Cockney Scum.
That's me laughing at you, not with you.

I admit I'm never normally in for CT(If I am, I normally watch the BBC Six Hour!), but from I've been reading on various threads, surely it would be simpler to take a 'split' Part One, then ad break, then 'Pan regional' Part Two. (I gather Meridian do that, according to that thread!).
Also, I watched BBC South West's Inside Out last week with the ITV story & the one ITV exec said ISTR it would be difficult to sustain ITV regional news after 2010.
The observation I would like to make there is, is the prerecorded opt outs likely to go first & make the resulting show a live full mix of East & West Mids news instead?
Plus the recording of the news itself, what chances of a technical error going out with the wrong bulletin going out to the wrong area, or even the dreaded 'freeze' mid sentence. (I take it ITV are not actively promoting the fact your regional news could be recorded!)
I wonder how long the Beeb could get away with 2 bulletins for the Midlands, if ITV get away with 1 & a bit?

Don't think the Beeb - currently - would use the lack of competition as a reason to axe a service. There would be arguments that it is now MORE important for the Beeb to keep their current split services in regions where ITV have merged (West & South West, South & South East, East Midlands & West Midlands etc.)
