New info since I originally asked that leads me to think the answer is whenever the new ITV corporate branding launches, since they're all due to change this year anyway.

So if Channel is getting the rest of the generic ITV1 branding, does that mean Channel Report will get a refresh and the current music, instead of the music they use just now?

Current music is debatable, as for all we know, the other regions will get new music anyway. Remember, as far as we know, all of ITV will be getting a new look, and that includes ITV News.

Can't see Channel Report bringing back the 2006 regions theme, as they dropped it in April 2009 for the current theme.

Some decent clips on Channel's 50th year website.

Watched it yesterday. Still lots of local presentation in place and trails for local news, sport and weather. All ITV 1 Channel Television branded.
