Although we'd kinda worked it out already, Owain had a look behind the set on Instagram Stories and it confirmed that it's LED panels being used (which makes sense because of the small space). I assume that's pricey compared to using screens as East Mids/West Mids and others have done but gives them more flexibility?

LED panels are expensive. A 27” Samsung one was $7500.

The picture quality and cost are making me question if they are indeed LED panels.

South Today
Duncan has posted on twitter that today is his 15th anniversary at YTV Calendar. Making Christine and himself the longest ITV regional news duo. Ahhh I remember when that title was held by Wesley Smith and Anne Dawson of Central News South.

Studio is nice but the titles are in the wrong font, dosent match up with the font on the Aston’s. all they had to do was to mimic North West Tonight(without the animations), they have it perfect across the Pennines.


Well they are obviously not "in the wrong font" if the designers have OK'ed them and the image teams and producers and visual designers are happy with them.

What always makes the commentators right?

When the rest of BBC News’ output uses Gill Sans on the titles, I’d agree with Harshy that Helvetica/Swiss is the wrong font. Either that or the most basic branding principles are being ignored.

Look East has been using the wrong font for years as well.

Sadly you'll often discover in-house teams aren't properly aware or across in-house branding guidelines...

In a way I'm glad of that. About time the regions were allowed to be "individual" to some degree again.

If individual meaning sloppy, then I disagree.

Do you really think if Corporate BBC was actually bothered they would be allowing the regions to use a different type face?

In reality, 99.9% of people won't even notice. There are no spelling mistakes, no glaring errors. Just a different font. And?

You know what makes a brand look really cheap? Everything being the same font, the same colour scheme all the time. That looks cheap, and unimaginative. More intelligent use of colours, and a select few fonts that look good and are readable, used in the right way, that looks a lot better.
