Yes and ITV Night Time are now running generic ITV1 idents which are exactly the same as before except there is a [ 1 ] after the ITV logo.

With the rebranding of ONdigital to ITV Digital, ITV stopped being just a television channel and began life as a provider of not only programmes but of channels and interactive services.

With this move it was important not only to form a family of brands under the umbrella of ITV but also to maintain an identity for ITV's premier channel. This is why ITV is being re-branded as ITV1, to ensure viewers have a clear idea of where they can find their favourite programmes.


Rebranding! Pah!

Also have you noticed that on the ITV website the menu bar where it gives a link to 'ITV1 Today' and 'ITV1 programmes' is a bit dodgy!

I don't understand why didn't they launch itv.com today aswell to be inline with everything else?

On the ITN website there is a brief mention that ITV.com will be launched in August:

What's happening?!
The news was just introduced with an ITV ident, rather than the 'ITV1' one we were supposed to be seeing!

Easy. ITV Night-time idents/coming next captions are pre-recorded once only, ie every time before say CD-UK, they play the same ident/voice-over, so the announcer's voice changes over the course of the night. The Meatloaf thing was a one-off rather than a series, so was made in a new batch, and they forgot to brand it itv instead of itv1 with all the rest.

No ITV1 ident at 9:25am, just straight into CiTV.
