Will that be this year's religious quota sorted for them then (assuming they still have one?)?!

That Christmas day is a repeat from Christmas eves showing, I doubt STV will show it

Whoops, I did mean to pick the Christmas Eve one. But still, I wonder if it is part of a quota.

There aren't any STV variations showing for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Just spotted 4Music have got Christmas idents. New ones as they've got the flat logo in them, and they're CG and quite cool - very different from the dancing people in the main idents.

New It'll be Alright on the Night on 28 December 2012 that my xmas telly sorted.

With all the Christmas Adverts and now the start of the Christmas Idents I find it very strange that BT are still showing a Halloween themed advert!!!

It was press day for weeks 52 and 1 today, so you'll be able to be more confident in the listings you start to see from now on.

Indeed and the BBC1/ITV1 scheduling battle seems to have been won by the BBC. ITV have a bizarre line up this year with BBC1 basically on a winning streak from Shrek Forever After.

9.45 The Royle Family
10.45 BBC News
11.00 The Vicar of Dibley

ITV1:

3.10 Tangled
5.15 ITV News
5.30 Emmerdale
6.00 For The Love of Dogs
7.00 Emmerdale
7.30 Coronation Street
8.30 ITV News
8.45 Downton Abbey
10.45 Couple's Retreat

Have the schedules for the week before Christmas been announced? I'm wondering what time-slot Text Santa will take on Friday 21 December.

According to digiguide.tv:

8:00pm - Text Santa
11:00pm - ITV News and Weather
11:15pm - Celebrity Juice (Text Santa Christmas Special)
12:00am - Text Santa - Highlights

Also a 5-minute 'preview' show at 6:55pm.
