GMTV is in charge 0600-0925 and all the trails are ITV1 branded.


and always have been. Of course there were also the ITV branded trailers on Channel Four for many years too.

A very funny mistake on yesterday's Early Evening News. Luckily, I had the VCR recording and captured it! When will ITV News relaunch, BTW???

Yes it did happen on Scottish tv. Is it just me, but would any fello stv viewers , like to be part of the itv1 network, cause i would. The continuity announcers voices really bug me on scottish. ITV1 SCOTLAND would be much better and in line with the rest of the UK, bar UTV.

However, not too long ago during a GMTV ad break an advert appeared for a couple of mornings for at home with the braithwaits, and it used the generic itv1 logo and not the scottish logo. Can anyone explain that?


I realise we are a nation and not a region but SMG are wasting their money on half arsed presentation and continuity. It's always "...tonight at <time>." or "on this channel." Trailers for programmes never have the channel name in them. Just 4 blue squares.
SMG must either merge Scottish and Grampian, or let Granada/Carlton do it.

I agree with you Breakfast News. It really annoys me why Scottish TV and Grampian TV are different for everyone else. Why can't they just be part of ITV1?

This was an interesting cockup

It looks like they were broadcasting a black screen with a transparent caption

You know there is usually a small gap between the "ITV News" logo and the name caption, well if you look carefully it is there on the cockup!
