Also I find it insulting to say what 'people like us' think about a particular programme is less important than what anyone else thinks.

I didn't say that. I said we on TVForum think differently about presentation, etc. I said how we think about these changes is entirely different kettle of fish to they way the general public think about them.


You're saying that by being a TVForum member, I'm not part of the general viewing public, so to me that suggests my opinion is less important.


For the love of God! Where have I said that you - and other members of TVForum - are not a member of the viewing public? Nowhere. I'm a member of TVForum too yet I consider myself a member of the viewing public.

Secondly, where have I said that your opinion, as a member of TVForum, matters less? I haven't. I have said that we, as members of a forum that discusses television presentation, view matters differently to members of the general public.


Firstly calm down.

You ask where you have said I'm not a member of the general public. Well, look right below that question, as you once again say that TV Forum members view matters differently to the general public. That is implying people like us are in some way different to the general public.

By saying our opinions are 'a different kettle of fish' to the general public, implies that it would *only* be TVF members (or people with similar interests) would appreciate the presentation of the programme. That is somewhat devaluing our opinion by implying we are in a minority, when I actually think the majority are affected by presentation.

I'm pretty sure that's true as a generalisation on both sides. Would you say the public at large know about aspect ratios, for example?

What happens in Northern Ireland? Good Morning NI? Good Morning UTV? Good Morning Anything?


It's branded as 'Good Morning Northern Ireland', with GMB DOG and 'UTV' as the regional identifier next to the clock.

The animation if the weather bug has been reduced, unlike previously, the white box used to animate off and back on after each town. Which now it no longer does this.

A subtle change well spotted.

A more serious agenda today.

The weather bug also is now alphabetical.

Did the ticker disappear yesterday like it has now during the entertainment part? It should be there IMO.

Did all regions drop the introduction at 6:55? Or was it just in Central?

I agree that the ticker should remain there, especially around a time when people are waking and may not be that interested in the entertainment news.

The regional introduction was here for me in Meridian - but the end of the regional bulletin was cut off.

Edit: Ah, I hit 3000 posts. That's bizarre, and to think I've been on these boards nearly 10 years! Shocked Shocked Shocked

Maybe it was technical issue earlier.

Perhaps it was dropped in some regions but not all, hence the dodgy end in Meridian? Did your regional bulletin transition back smoothly?

Dropped again on Central.
It ended a few seconds early before 7, and again just now.

The other area being used with Martin Lewis showing that the strips at the back at screens. Very nice.
