North East & Cumbria Thread

The old thread has been archived, so I've made a new one.

Anyhow, Pam announced at the end of ITV News Tyne Tees/Lookaround that tonight's show was the last from the current set. She said there will be a new temporary set for the time being, before the new one is fitted.

So is that just Anglia and West/Westcountry to go then once Meridian and Central also complete their sets?

Central's is set to go live on Monday

When ITV changed their regional news sets to the previous design, didn't they all do it together at the same time as the ITV news blocks logo was introduced in 2004?

No. Took many months, with Border and Anglia the last ones in Dec 2005.

Tyne Tees were still at City Road until 2005, and used their old set.

TTTV moved in July 2005

Was the TTTV/Border NaT hosted from the old set or from the temporary set?

Rachel Bullock was in the temp set in the newsroom.....a rather dark newsroom with turned off computer monitors and very lifeless.

Apologies for the poor caps, but this is the temporary set in the newsroom:

Why TT&B doesn't use the astons with the region name?

It's the only region to have two names. So rather than cock it up and broadcast the wrong aston they'd just omit the regional name on the astons.
