Well thought I'd put a view across from a Scottish prospective (My own opinion) of course. ITV's rebrand is fantastic. the music and content of the ident's are great along with the sharpness of the new ITV News.
For me today sets out or indeed re sparks the urgent and needed debate for ITV to buy out STV. STV for me have a can't be bothered attitude and it's about time that someone ends that. They could do a lot better, obvious comparisons can be made between BBC Scotland and STV and it makes for pretty grim reading for STV.
Now that ITV have made a bit of money maybe they can buy STV and give us Scottish viewers a bit of a fresh start and a broadcaster that can be bothered in making content for their channel

Don't think that will happen for a long time seeing as STV have not that long ago retained the Channel 3 licence for North and Central Scotland.

If Scotland become independent, then that would complicate things further
I don't think it's quite the right thread for this debate George, but I disagree entirely. I'm not a fan of STV, but in terms of their branding and idenity of Channel 3 in Scotland, through their own idents, bumpers, promo endboards, regional news etc, they have a good, consistent look.
I'd like to see them use a few more idents from the stock they have, and some of the homegrown ads for STV Player do look a bit amateur, but in terms of content they are largely pumping out exactly the same as ITV.
