Their 'TV from the Heart of England' promo some how reminds me of a 1999 ITV.

I'm confused with this be the face business on the channel. Apart from the news bulletins and the early morning programme which has it's own regular presenters. Other programming has been bought in on the cheap. I can't see where else other programming is being fit into at the moment.

Sadly I can't get any screen dumps. The in house programming comes from a all white looking studio with a huge white wall clock with two white sofas and a big round table for the news presenting.

This webpage has the logo and a bit about the channel.

It's not bad at all. I'm sure it's difficult if you are trying to think of the story off the top of your head (rather than have it scripted, which might be better) and do a cut (just a blank screen for a second) rather than the pause for the incoming report.

Try a plain background, like a curtain or something to keep the attention on your rather than the surroundings. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help! I'll record another one shortly, see how it turns out.

Well the Little Breakfast show was enjoyable enough to watch in the morning. The main presenter was bumbling a bit too much for my liking. 24 hours on from the midday launch and I thought that any problems from the launch will be smoothed over but nope, the midday news went ahead with no sound for 5 minutes before cutting to an teleshopping commerical.

The spirit of the early Friendly TV lives on.

The 6pm news tonight was a repeat of yesterday's news. lol

Apparently as the station grows they are going to develop more hone grown shows. If the news programmes are anything to go by I would stick to The Beverly Hillbillies if I was them.

I caught the 6pm news tonight. The opening titles were awful, part of me thinks they have not thought this through.

Maybe the Be The Face winner will get there own show, hint hint
