Whoops... a minor oddity on the ITV National Weather just now, with the UTV logo appearing on one of the weather slides - has this happened before?

yeah I just saw that - odd!!

Does anyone know the legal reason stopping ITV2+1 from showing America's Got Talent ?

I'm sure they used too.

I assume it is counted as a repeat by the rights holders - and would halve the number of showing that ITV2 could make?

Talking of America's Got Talent, ITV2 look to be continuing with their stupid practice of splitting shows, with the first semi-final split over two nights (and seems to be the performance show that is split, not just the results being shown the next day)

Intresting article on MG - Cowell might buy ITV with Phillip Green?

also, slightly OT but, itn will no longer produce news for itv.com

also when 'The process is expected to take a couple of months, after which ITV.com's own news offering will return with regional, national and international sections -

1 - surely someone will have to provide this
2 - this should see the launch of itv.com/local

I have to say countrywise is turning into a good little programmes , If only other parts of ITV could be like this.

It's awful.

Just my opinion. It's nothing more than a cleverly botched clips of various past regional country programmes blended together and repackaged with new presenters.

I saw countrywise last Saturday morning and its endboard was the god-awful ITV Productions!!!

Howcome they didn't show the ITV Studios end-board?

I don't know what countrywise is (at the risk of sounding stupid), but perhaps it was made before the logo-change (?), unless it is really recent—in which case there must be some other reason.

good news on the soaps front IMO.

The Bill to get new titles, musical score ect. aswell!

Also surely Mooshot could be put in a more primetime place rather than after the news
