ITV Discussion Thread

When is S9 of TV burp?

The first recording is on 8th October, which would suggest it starts on Saturday 10th October.

Are you sure STV are going to be showing it ? After all, it could feature a number of programmes they don't broadcast.

It's a cover of "You've Got The Love" by Florence & The Machine

Until the 3rd December according to TVrecordings.com. Filmed at BBC TV Centre.

I bet he take the mick out of STV not showing stuff

So product placement has been authorised. This is fine, so long as it isn't blatant and in your face.

In other news, Peter Fincham is reportedly leaving ITV1, rumoured to be replaced by Alison Sharman (head of factual, daytime and children's). At the BBC, she commissioned Sportsround and brought back Jackanory, while at ITV she introduced Saturday morning adult shows to the weekend. Radical if not everyone's wishes.

ITV needs new blood at the helm, a whole new team of creative, visionary people who are not afraid to take big risks to stabilise the network and fix ITV1. We need new programme ideas, a new scheduling structure and a new outlook.

Time is running out after al!

CRR rules have been retained, according to MediaGuardian.

The site also says ITV1+1 will launch next month, with ITV1 HD following in December.

ITV1 +1 launch postponed...

Oddly though, the 5 test channels showing EPG data are still on DSat.

Will more recordings become available though? And does anybody know why it's being filmed at TV Centre? It was at Teddington last year (I went ) and as far as I know the years before that.

Yeah it's always been a Teddington show as far as I know. Until now.

itv seem to be adding "the brighter side" to their break bumpers. During The X Factor there was the X factor break bumpers and normal ones with "the brighter side" on them too. But now watching casino royale they seemed to have disappeared!!
