Well knock me down with the YTV chevron.  I didn't know this existed.  It must be quite new as it's got Wellbeing on it, as well as a nice picture of Christine and Gaynor on the Homepage.  Enjoy

Look, a snapshot of the new hearts recently been seen on YTV, taken from the YTV website.

Unusual version of Granada ident taken from said website.

Love the top left picture! They should definitely turn that into an ident.

And those hearts are the ones used in the 'coming next' bit are they? I've been assured they're in the Meridian region but haven't yet seen them.

Cheers, Asa

Yes they are the 'Coming Next' hearts, although rarely seen, perhaps they are waiting in the wings to become part of a new ident for GMG Channels.

I hate, oh, how I hate the whole ITV hearts thing. That tune is the most horrific ever to be used in Britain, and the graphics (ESPECIALLY on HTV Wales) are dismal.

Most other ITV regions have the little films, i.e the Bloke painting the floor, the whizzing ferris wheel, the torches in the woods...

but I'm lucky if I see any of those ever.

Well the GMG stations don't have the short films before the idents anymore either. The HTV version of the Generic idents looks like one of the better ones in my opinion. Just look at poor Border.

In the last few days I have visited the Granada Media Group website.

Coincidentally, that's been given a new look, just as Yorkshire TV's website has.

But on the Broadcasting pages for each of the ITV companies that GMG owns, there are no links to the Yorkshre TV website, nor to the other web sites of the GMG owned ITV companies.

I have just visited the Granada Media Group website (again), and  have found that you can access the websites of GMG owned companies (including the ITV companies as well), by clicking on the 'Contacts' section of the homepage.

Be warned though - the site can take some time to load (as I  have discovered)!

Not true - Meridian still use their short films all the time!

Anglia do use the lovely little films.

Its only the older GMG stations that don't. (TTTV, TYV, GTV)

I am wondering as to why the GMG companies have axed the small films, shame!

Oddly enough, the Yorkshire website isn't even being promoted on it's idents either!
