Notice tonight's 11pm programme is sponsored and the voiceover says "XYZ company ... sponsors ITV regional programming"

First time they've ever really flagged up that it's a regional programme in such a clear way

The Dales Diary on YTTTV is also sponsored so it's good that at least some money is changing hands around regional programmes


I think it's been like that for the last few weeks Andrew. Im surprised noone has brought it up before now.

Yes, Regency have sponsored a hell of a lot of regional programmes lately across the network...hence the slightly naff generic bumpers. The amount of sponsorship around regional programmes has increased a lot generally too.

Thanks for that buster.

Any idea what the new stuff is later this year? Is it just some additions or a completely new set of idents?


The info we got was a bit vague...just they hadn't been received as well as the rest of the rebrand and will be replaced by something else before the end of the year. So I'd expect the whole lot to go. However 2,3 and 4 will stay, apparently they will lats for longer "as fewer people see them" Shocked


I agree and disagree with you, they are being "refreshed" by the whole 'emotional' aspect will remain so don't expect anthing major. The changes take place in November.
According to what I've been told, they are happy that the 'emotional' take on the presentation has been well received by the board and the majority of viewers.

I really don't se why ITV don't put the regional name inbetween the ITV1 and that yellow block at the end in larger letters, in the formation:

| itv | 1 Granada |

If you get what I mean.

Because they want to minimise the impact of the regional name to such an extent that in the end nobody will notice them disappearing altogether......probably in 2012 when switchover is complete Confused

Not worth starting a new thread for this, but ITV Wales messed up their announcement into their regional programme at 11pm tonight and we got the network annoucement.

However before the ITV News at 10.30pm they promoted the regional programme and called the channel 'ITV1 Wales'.
