I was curious how the "9.00am News" was done on BBC2 on Saturday mornings, was it a seperate bulletin from the BBC News studio, did "Weekend 24" just continue, or does BBC2 opt out of News 24 and then opt back in, for those of you who don't know, it turns out its the latter which happens.

New Look MTV

It will be here soon... promise!

The first signs of the new look MTV today - they played out some of the new breakbumpers (by mistake I think because they played the old one again afterwards).

Grampian/Scottish Rebrand Promos begin

Just before Coronation Street

Grampian TV just played out about a 90secs promo on ITV right before Coronation street with the logo at the end centre screen and what sounded like a very slowed and modified version of the existing music.

10 years of Meridian

8 weeks of crap

Well I was looking forward to Meridian's '10 years' series, but from the first episode it's not really anything to get excited about. From a presentation fan's point of view, it was dull.
