New sponsorship coming for the national weather? http://www.itv.com/weather has intros "ITV1 national weather sponsored by Confused.com" which is a bit odd considering I'm looking at a regional forcast...

STV has been covering up the Confused.com sponsor stings with short promos...

John Kettley (He's a Weatherman!) interviewed down the line this afternoon on the NC, nice to see him on screen again. He was answering questions on the cold weather spell.

Why is the Confused.com sponsorship not being shown in Scotland?

Presumably because they haven't paid STV to sponsor it in Scotland?

No-one is sponsoring Granada weather, bit like early 1995 after Legal & General stopped their advertising.

It just shows the generic weather slide.

These Confused.com sponsorship stings for the ITV national weather feature people dressed up as weather conditions. Not exactly a new idea is it?

Let's compare an old sequence with a new one:

PowerGen sequence from 1996
Confused.com version

Erm... I think I know which one wins.
