Well with the addition of ITV 2 on Sky I didn't thing it would take long but ITV 1 heading has appeared on the first page of Teletext - ITV 1 Channel Islands and the TV guide pages are now headed ITV 1.

Is this the beginning of the end and are Channel going to get new idents once the christmas one have ended showing ITV 1.

As Teletext is independant though, you may not need to worry. They've probably done the same on all regions(i know they have in the North East), but it doesn't necessarily mean Channel has given in(We can hope...).

The BBC, for example, dont refer to ITV1 on Ceefax, still referring to the regional names. I think it's entirely the choice of the teletext broadcaster.

Well now I'm back in England and watching ITV on Sky, I noticed that Channel were showing something in Spanish (?) and the news from France 3 at lunchtime, so it still sounds pretty regional to me!!

Well Mark Spanish was close it's Portuguese (Spelling wrong I bet). Every Sunday lunchime Channel have the weeks news in Portuguese and French as the Islands have a very large Portuguese population.
