I noticed that 'CiTV' don't use safe areas. I was watching it on analogue terrestrial, and they split the credits after 'The Rugrats', and chopped the credits in half, and you couldn't see the 'd' in the promotion for 'Drake and Josh'.

The dog isn't 4:3 safe either. Part of the C gets chopped off on our TV!

Oh yeah, and the right of the credits for 'The Rugrats' was chopped off too.

Why does it have to be in the CiTV thread? I wouldn't want to have to scroll through to find a subject like this to be honest. I'm against the super-thread idea.

Similar view shared here. For day-to-day matters it is usually best to use the general thread, however for significant issues of discussion it is better to create a seperate thread instead of hide it over several pages of the general thread.

And this is a significant issue is it?

I'd like to see an issue that wasn't significant!

I think it's disgusting that ECPs are being used in children's programming these days anyway!

Well both CBBC and CITV have had credit squeezes for years. The majority of the time, when CITV had IVC there would be presenter links, but often there would be trails.

CBBC have always squeezed credits when its presentation is live, often running trails within those squeezes.

Try watching the credits for Teletubbies on CBeebies. It's played as 14P16, which does a good job of cutting off all the names.

But what exactly is the point in squeezing them when you can't even see them?! This is what the Pocoyo end credits look like in widescreen. The far right is chopped off even in 16:9!

Now look what they would be like on a 4:3 TV!
