Did anyone just see the coloured bars during the intro into CITV. It was only on for a second or two, but it showed the old logo in the top left-hand corner.

Wow, would have thought they'd have changed it by now. Great logo.

In Grampian we got the frozen endcap for Talking Scotland followed by a SCOTTISH TV logo with Shareen whatsherface into CITV.........maybe they are easing us in gently for the STV launch???? Evil or Very Mad

Not captured from today's fault, but I assume the colour bars looked something like this?

This was apparently seen on Anglia a few years ago just before GMTV!

That was exactly it.
And, I've heard the new guy. But why do we need another announcer?

Well I guess some of the older ones have moved on.......I think it needed some new voices though!!!

I'm struggling to get my head around what sort of cockup could have got that onto Anglia!

Could STV have been feeding a programme to the network at the time, and possibly Anglia opted to/from the network feed early/late? Just a theory.
