It looks like they are having the same problem as Christmas 2003, when they played the christmas next caption up until about May every now and then, and this is what is happening with ITV 50. Plus, some next captions mainly ITV day seemed to be stretched and music jumps a bit.


I know Sky's recorded announcements ocassionaly go wrong (ie announcing the next programme as the one that's just finished!), but I've never heard of Xmas N&Ns appearing in May - how embarassing! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I suppose that's what happens when you cut everything back to the bone. I bet the Continuity Announcers rarely get to check what they have actually recorded, or what idents etc are used on screen! Confused

Err, no, hold your horses

What actually happened was that the christmas 'icy' background from ITV's christmas idents was decided to carry on as a permanent ident


Err, no hold your horses I am talking about Christmas 2003 and not 2004.

Last year's Christmas idents weren't that bad, especially the promotion animations. They did forget to remove the Christmas background from the 'Next' slide for a few months after though...

Also, while I'm on about Christmas idents, was there a variation between the music used in the idents between London and Leeds transmission centres? I say this because the music on the video(s) from The TV Room is different to the music used on TTTV - see this from TV Whirl, which was also used on UTV (Clip from TV Room) - and I've never heard the music from the ITV1 Christmas 2004 clips on The TV Room... Confused

They made an effort in 2004, with Christmas idents, trailers, ECPs, everything.

Very similar to current style but with amazingly simple yet effective snowflake designs! Very nice, actually!

They even added Christmas noises into the ITV1 music.

It would make sense to have it then as they could the new look straight after the Christmas idents finished.

Which would be the same day that Channel 4 launched theirs last year, and ITV1 usually end theirs on Dec 31st for some strange reason. Thinking about it, they may aswell wait until the Monday, the 2nd, hadn't they?

Didn't that fall into place so that it coincided with the merger of Carlton and Granada? Presumebly so that they could use the then new theatre of news for flashy packages about their merger!

I wish ITV would give us some more info on the relaunch.

Would be nice to see some new schedules with it, actually.

It would be good if we got a new look ITV1/2/3 & News on Jan 1st but I doubt we will, I know it's a bit of topic but any idea when the BBC One look is changed?
