OK I admit I was totally wrong about the BBC1 and I bow my head in shame.

But I know for sure that ITV1 will launch their ident of Christmas Eve- 100% sure. I presume the ident will have ice in the background with like a ice bast halo around the logo with no characters this year.

A pretty good guess considering thats when the ident has launched the last two years!

I expect ITV1 will have something good, with no kids in sight, considering their work the last two years

No Christmas idents from Channel 4 again this year? Confused

Regarding UTV, as I'm now back in NI for the Christmas period, are there any other idents featuring choirs? And as they have featured a school choir in an ident, does this mean that on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day we will have schoolkids doing recorded IVC links instead of the regular announcers like last year?

UTV have just aired another new ident featuring another school choir, this time from Derry:

Cheers Stephen!

Also noticed that the main UTV ident jingle is the same as the one used in 2000.

Just a pity it runs out after the first 10 seconds of the idents!!

I caught one yesterday that managed to last as long until the 2002 ITV network jingle played in... Smile

I emailed my local ITv network that is how I know. They said in the morning of 24 DEC.

These animations are the same ones that were used 3 years ago in 2002. See here.
