GMTV is not an entertainment channel, its remit is to provide a mix of news and entertainment. The idea that it would pop up during This Morning or Loose Women is even odder than ITV1 asking GMTV to replace ITN during a news event because ITN aren't ready and GMTV's staff are well trained!


I have a vague recollection of a mid-morning newsflash on ITV being provided by TV-AM on one occasion, and an even vaguer recollection that Gordon Honeycombe read it. No idea why ITN didn't do it.

Central News uses the horrid DOG.

But it isn't Central News anymore, it's GMTV Central News.

Also -
This morning the DOG read

"Central News"
above
"NEWS - [TIME]"

Did anybody have any luck capturing UTV during the 7.10 news update this morning? Ben mentioned they were having a few 'technical problems'.

The UTV dog was on screen on GMTV in Northern Ireland, throughout the local news at 8.08 and stayed on screen for a while when they went back to London.

Was nice to hear to the GMTV with Lorraine closing underscore earlier played from the start - at the close of the high street fashion awards (even though there is talking over most of it! Mad).

Video to follow shortly...

That's the logo used on their letterheads/invoices - just a pure orange background unlike the version seen on screen and on the website.

Anyway... here's the video as promised (better quality version on YT later).
