Good move, ITV! Making everything go national except for news and weather is a great idea. You won't get messed up on if its either ITV1 or you region's name! In all the decision in axing the the local announcers is good. Just bring them back for before regional news starts, like they did back in 2002!
Why is people losing their jobs "good"? Confused

I hope you are joking, your proving to know nothing.

So for those not near a Sky Digital box, the idents have "Wales" on them - do the network team verbalise "ITV1 Wales"?


From what I can gather, the announcement is the same as England, so no verbal mentions of Wales, although the word does appear on the idents.


It's clear that no dedicated ITV1 Wales idents were made. The word 'Wales' is added 'live' to the 'clean' ITV1 ident by the automation system.

Last night, the word 'Wales' remained on screen over the opening credits of a programme! Rolling Eyes

It is a shame for the people of Wales, Charles Allen has ruined the soul of ITV Crying or Very sad

I dunno, if you'd be interested, but Transdiffusion have issued out a good article about the state of ITV.

It's a very good article, I would start by sacking Mr Allen though, he needs to know that ITV's strength came from it's regional companies, if nothing is done about it, ITV will be just another one of those channels, in fact it will disappear!

Interesting article. I agree some of whats said there. I noticed they said the soaps should go back to 3 nights a week - Ive been saying that for ages!

It was going to happen eventually unfortunately. Now (if the OP is right), it's just the 2 SMG stations, UTV and Channel.


isn't the 2 SMG stations both have there, coming form glasgow?

Yes (except at the start of Scotland Today).


Sometimes we just get here and now its time for our local news......!!!

Take note all you who want itv1 branding in Scotland....if it were to happen we would not only loose our identity but we would also loose our announcers!!!

Well I noticed this morning that the Wales branded idents continue throughout the night -- which has never happened well, ever that I can recall.

In the early days of London continuity, there was the odd local trail at 2am, and the 6am ident was Wales branded but.

The 'Wales' bit is quite clearly a nuisance to them and I daresay won't last much longer.
