Good Morning Britain

Yeah it's been used a few times along with a Washington background as well when live reports come from there.

Wow they made Ann Coulter look human. Took me a minute.

There must be excellent makeup artists or filters at the ITV studio in NYC.

Yeah, but look at those eyes. The contents of Morrisons’ frozen seafood section have more warmth.

There's no make-up team anywhere who can stop what comes out of her mouth.

A slightly different start to the opener this morning.

How was that different?

Following on from the ident there was no graphic appearance until the SOT had finished and when the graphic did wipe, it was already in the lower thirds position.

It's only a minor difference but i just wanted to point it out.

SOT?

Sound On Tape. In other words, the bit with no talking just after the ident.

When a soundbite of an interviewee or news/sport clip is used in a headline sequence to tell the story rather than a voiceover, it's referred to as a SOT.

Not just in a headline sequence though. SOTs are any clip in a news programme that has sound that can't be talked over, usually a person talking.

The opposite is a Underlay (ULAY) or cover (CVR) which is picture and sound which is intended to be talked over - a ULAY is an item in itself, CVR is stuff that can be floated on top of an interview

Not just headlines. SOT is used to refer to any full sound clip that isn't a full package in many places.
