Most older people I've heard still call it 3. I did hear somebody say ITV3 in reference to ITV1 once...

Mostly "ITV", "Granada" or "put 3 on" in our house. Never hear anyone say "ITV1". The same goes for other failed rebrands, e.g. it'll always be "News 24" and "BBC World". I just can't get used to "BBC News Channel" and "BBC World News". I really don't understand why broadcasters bother with name changes - mostly they're just ignored by the public.

ITV1 plans push on weekend mornings
ITV1 is targeting a major push on original content for weekend mornings and is lining up a rival to BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen plus a fresh stab at Let’s Do Lunch With Gino & Mel.

ITV1 is targeting a major push on original content for weekend mornings and is lining up a rival to BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen plus a fresh stab at Let’s Do Lunch With Gino & Mel.
The broadcaster is understood to have earmarked increased funds for weekend daytime programming after internal research showed it could benefit commercially from targeting the large number of adult viewers available at the time.
It has commissioned Optomen Television to make a yet-to-be-named 21 x 60-minute Saturday breakfast cookery show, hosted by Nadia Sawalha and chef Mark Sargeant. The format will be recorded as live.
Saturday breakfast cookery show
It will air later this spring and, although obvious comparisons will be made with Saturday Kitchen, it is believed that ITV is lining up the show for an 8.30am slot, thus avoiding a clash with the BBC1 rival, which starts at 10am.
Broadcast understands that ITV1 also wants to convert former weekday daytime cookery format Let’s Do Lunch With Gino & Mel into a Sunday morning series. The show is fronted by chef Gino D’Acampo and Melanie Sykes, and averaged 947,000 (12.23%) in a 12.30pm slot last year.
ITV is known to have been chasing a Sunday morning show after holding talks with Princess Productions about providing a new home for axed BBC2 vehicle Something for the Weekend. Instead, C4 has snapped up Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer to host new Princess format Sunday Brunch.
It is believed some ITV staff feel the channel currently “surrenders” weekend mornings, and a source said its research showed there was a chance to establish a “wider, more commercially attractive audience in weekend breakfast slots”.
Dinner Date’s strong performances in a Sunday morning slot have provided impetus for the original content drive. Hat Trick’s dating format has been recommissioned for a fourth series.

I like the sound of this, it's true they do just stick repeats on weekends, I would like to hope that Jeremy Kyle USA is put on ITV2 or the like, I'd prefer an corrie/ Emmerdale omnibus tbh! ITV started a while back eating into 'ITV Breakfast' time from 8:30am on Weekends, but they just put things like Dickinson Real Deal on! Really liking the idea of a few more cookery shows fits nicely with a great new website (one of the best ITV sites I've ever seen!) www.itv.com/food

Delightful wasn't it? I'm sure when it was eventually scrapped Mike Neville proclaimed with an on air dig how nice it was to be able to say Tyne Tees again.

I still maintain though that whilst I despise what the C3NE brand stood for, taken purely as a piece of design work it wasn't a bad package, and certainly better than the material which Tyne Tees has used in the years leading up to it.

The "3" stings were pleasant.
The ident? Pfff... better than the equally overblown faux steel thing yes, nowhere close to the classy '91 effort.
And not forgetting the ridiculous announcements...

For old time's sake, the classic Tyne Tees ident I remember from during most of the 1980's . . .
