Do Channel 4 still show the 1999 idents during the night?
I'm still excited about taping ITV Nightscreen!


Umm... well not since the new look came in on New Year's Eve. And what is so exciting about Nightscreen? It really is just information and [cheesy] musak.


I suppose i do get a bit excited about a Powerpoint background with bits added in but i've never taped it before.

I think Yorkshire is the only region to still have a Jobfinder service, Central still had theirs until a few years ago


Has anyone got any caps?

Shame we don't have our own late night chat show like Conan, Letterman, or Leno in the states,this would keep the ratings up till the early hours.

I agree. Letterman really is full of rubbish features for half the show then the guests. However, the tacky features and funny clips are the bit I regularly tune in for. It's a good night time show. We could do with our own. Didn't Channel 5 not try it out when they launched?

The thing about the Letterman show on ITV2 is that we quite often see really old ones randomly. They'll show ones which are clearly this week's (as they talk about news stuff) then they randomly show one from February or something. Why? Sort it out ITV2.. and give it a better timeslot - it's better than that 'Married with Kids' show or 'Sally'. Bleh.

Its on every night isnt it? I dont think its worth recording this new look one, its very dull, cant believe they got rid of their nice shiny blue look!

It is on every night,but it's a pain doing it in the rest of the week.

That pic with the ITV Nightscreen text with the sunset and the prime time
motorway ones look good.I hope that tapes next weekend!

ITV Nightscreen is ITV's version of teleshopping isnt it. Very Happy. Maybe ITV spend more on this, as they dont provide a decent text service through digital text.

Has anyone got any old ITV Nightscreen animations? [please do media player format!] I'd like to see the 1998 animation and any others.
