There will be more of these on my website tomorrow, for now, here's a sneaky peak at the ITV Sport Channel especially for TV Home viewers.

I notice that www.itv.com/football has had a revamp.

Looks impressive!

I like the way they seperate the two parts of the logo and have something running through the middle. They did this with the ITV Digital logo on their webpage, perhaps it's a sign of their style of idents to come for ITV1?

Haven't I seen Matt Smith on the BBC? Has he defected to the new channel?

Yes Matt Smith has defected from the BBC where he used to do Football Fever and the sports bulletins on Fridays on the Six O'Clock, he will present most of ITV Sports Channels Nationwide output I understand.

Is it me or does the new studio look similar to the BBC's new sports studio?!

I've not seen the new BBC Sport studio, but If what I was expecting is right, it looks like the general election studio the Beeb were using on E-night?

Studio looks good - I wonder if they'll be using this for the new football shows on ITV (or slightly redecorated versions!)

Looks very similar to the BBC's one. Although the BBC's wins hands down. Now we know why there weren't enough video walls for the BBC regions: the BBC Sport studio pinched them all.

I'm sure the Goal Rush on ITV2 is a different studio. They are sat behind a desk.

Football First (aka The Goal Rush) always used to come from Meridian (Maidstone I think) - and I assume this is still the case, though looking at it this afternoon everything's been ITV Sport rebranded.

ITV Sport Channel has a full colour DOG, (does that make it a DINGO) in the top right hand corner.
