Although they never mention all the various local station website. I don't think it really benefits the viewers and in the case of ITV Studio shows I see no reason why they can't point towards the ITV website during the show at least. I think ITV have now removed the URL from the credits which is the more sensible solution - each broadcaster can then point to their own website.


They seem to be pointing to itv.com and utv.com on This Morning and I think Loose Women read it out as itv.com/loosewomen but the graphic says "Visit our website, itv.com/loosewomen u.tv/loosewomen.

This maybe has been answered before but why has utv and stv been getting mentions recently on the website bar at the bottom of the screen In shows , it never got mentioned before?


Presumably because UTV and STV pay for the ITV networked programmes, but AIUI they don't get any revenue from the itv.com website run by ITV plc, and so instead want to make sure that viewers are aware of their websites as well.

Important to remember that the websites carry advertising and generate revenue - so UTV and STV want people to go to their sites not ITV's.

I doubt ITV will be too happy about that then.

It'll be interesting to see how prominent the STV website is on Catchphrase tomorrow - I'm assuming it's inevitable they'll be some kind of viewer competition.

I imagine it will be on quite a lot.

How true is the event on the April calendar on the front page about the CITV revamp? Apparently it says in-vision
continuity is returning.

If I've been April fooled then feel free to point and laugh.

It sounds like a hoax. It would have been announced on media websites else. The chances of in vision continuity returning to CITV is the same chances as having IVC back on ITV.

Is this the old ITV font?
