Hi,
I was wondering what happened to th ITV1 'london' ident (before the news) has gone???
It is on tv home (chris tarrent) and had said it has only appeared the FIRST DAY since the new look! Now, before, the news, we get the normal blue squares ident with no faces.
Why haven't ITV1 shown it since???

(go to tvhome.co.uk, click on miscellaneous presentation and there it is!!!)
PS: Can anyone post a picture on here PLEASE!!!
Thanks,
LoveTV!! Very Happy

AFAIK, it never did appear before the news. The ident was captured before "Renovation Street" or some similar afternoon programme (I thought that show was networked anyway?) on the first day of the new look. Why it hasn't been seen since, who knows. Internal politics I guess. And why did you want a picture here when people can see it for themselves at the site (or you could just have put the image in your post??) Odd.

Presumably it was produced, but never meant to be broadcast , but the person directing that day didn't know.

Cock up theory is more common than 'internal politics' in such cases

Does that mean that ITV-1 London never has regional continuity with its own ident before any of the ITV-1 London region programs?

I think (and I may well be wrong about this) that any regional shows on ITV1 London are now voiced by the 'regional announcer' like the rest of the country - where previously the National Announcer on duty had that special button to press and was able to do the regional announcements for the Capital live!
