ITV1 now/next/later

On SMG and UTV - clean feed problem (December 2005)

Some weird stuff going on at Cowcaddens tonight. First of all SMG failed to opt-out of the ITV1 now/next/later at the end of Harry Potter (which presumably means there's something wrong with the clean feed). Then the ident in to The X Factor was the clouds news ident, as opposed to any of the celebrities, which actually looks quite good and perhaps would be a good replacement for out of date celeb idents.

Obviously a problem with the clean feed - there was a network announcement at the end of The X Factor as well. Any problems in UTV land?

I was just about to start a thread about this. UTV are working off a dirty feed too.

Much nicer than normal with the clouds ident into The X Factor, rather than the celebs.

The problem with the feed seems to happen regularly on Saturdays. Strange.

Great choice of ident for The X Factor there - the political editor Bernard Ponsonby... Rolling Eyes

The scary thing is I predicted they'd do that. I'm wondering whether using the clouds ident full time is a better idea.

I have notice that as well, it also happen at the end of celeb.

The STV cloud ident was on twice tonight

(I’m sure ITV coped that from STV as there started using it from January 2003. ITV change to that in 2004)

No they didn't. ITV1 started using the clouds ident from October 2002. Click.

An updated version was made however for the ITV1 relaunch in 2004.

THANKS for that!

It wasn't in regular use until 2003. In fact I'm not sure if it was shown at all in 2002 - I only ever recall Ident "Nighttime" being used for Party Political Broadcasts and for The Queen in 2002. I don't think "Daytime" or "Peaktime" were seen at all that year.

Didn't Border used to use it a lot back then. Oh those were the days.

Probably, but Border [Scotland] is a bit of an exceptional case. The 2002 idents were easily the best - even with the celebrities. The current package is just plain bland.

Looks like a dirty feed again tonight. STV ran the network ECP at the end of Emmerdale - complete with the giant ITV1 logo! I wonder if this is really a technical problem. Perhaps SMG and UTV have voluntarily agreed to start taking this feed.
