ITV 2 Presentation

I'm not sure how long they've been doing it but ITV2 currently have a rather large semi-transparent promo for Love Island on screen in the top right. It's particularly distracting as what I presume is a love heart animates.

As posted in the ITV presentation thread:

Does that thread only cover ITV Ch3 or ITV family? Either way ITV 2 has break bumper as well to match.

It looks like they're staking a lot on it doing well, considering that (I don't think) they've promoted a programme in that way before.

I thought all this type of 3rd rate, barrel scraping, brain dead, lowest common denominator, pathetic, stupid, worthless, pointless, moronic "reality" crap had been relegated to itvBe.

I don't know if it's just me, but has ITV2 breakbumper been made lighter? On my TV it looks a bit orange.

ITV2 now broadcasting in 4:3 centre cut again during Love Island... (Seems someone sent out the wrong AFD and taken us back 13 years)

ITV 3 regularly broadcast some of their 90's dramas that were in 14:9 with a 14:9 marker, so everything looks ill proportioned on a 16:9 TV, even the ITV 3 DOG is half off the screen. This has been happening for years, so how it hasn't been noticed or corrected is absolutely beyond me.

They do bizarre things with the aspect ratio on ITV3 too - I was watching one of their 4:3 shows a few months back and midway through the show it suddenly zoomed into full 16:9, making the DOG slip off-screen and cutting out much of the picture.

I have never noticed this happen - are there any shows I can look out for so I can try this for myself?

ITV2 use a DOG when Celebrity Juice is on to advertise 'Lemon Thursdays'.

I will keep an eye out for it again. It's usually some of their 90's dramas on around 11pm-ish that it happens on. I do recall seeing it happen once during the daytime hours, but it's definitely a common occurrence in the late evenings.
