Does that really say 'North North East Tonight at 6' on the bottom, or did they just forget to align the text with the DOG?

That's their mistake. Well, overall the I don't mind the look - though I'm sure we'll all be crying "Boring" before very long as every region's news looks virtually identical to the next one... wonder if the sets will gradually start to conform to a standard look as the old ones get replaced?

You see... we get all the regions we want on DSat, a presentation fan's paradise, and THEN they go and make everything the same! Rolling Eyes

The set looks much better than it did before - the walls used to be a very greyish montage of images stuck together with an 80s texture. The segment of wall where the screen is used to be cream, as was the part at the bottom of the wall.
Thanks for uploading the grabs. They seem to favour regional images on TTTV - the last news look and the current (although it has possibly changed again today) weather look also contain regional images.

Set looks nice as are the titles....only shame is it's still boring old Mike Neville! Surely he's due to retire soon?
I can't help thinking that TTTV's show looks old fashioned...needs someone younger...after Look North have done it with Carol Malia.

Yes but Mike Brings in the viewers. Tyne Tees is the only English region to have higher viewing figures on it's news than BBC. Anyway, Look North is shîté.

Has Channel 3 North East now expunged every reference to "Tyne Tees Television"?

Yes Corin I think so. I noticed that too. The set is rather attractive particularly with the regional landmarks i.e the Tyne Bridge. The weather has also changed appearance and it's quite nice too.

I agree Mike is a bit boring but he's far better than bloody Carol Malia - the most annoying presenter in the world surely ! Adam you're right, Look North is crap.

What are you talking about, everything that said Tyne Tees on Sunday still says Tyne Tees today!

Well that is a relief! Other regional company names have suffered a more untimely demise.

It looks like the funeral will have to wait until another day.

The figures for North East Tonight have gone down since BBC Newcastle became available on Sky. Usually NET and Look North are either neck and neck or Look North are in the lead.
I agree Look North is somewhat lacking in cotent!
TTTV aren't the only English region to beat the BBC (or were) Meridian are ahead of their BBC rivals by a whisker
