Well if ITV 1 can serve all the English regions and us poor hard done by Scots in the Border area i wouldn't have thought that SMG will give you a local announcer.

Here in the Border Scotland region we used to have continuity from the NTC in Leeds which was very poor.Sometimes you would see Granada idents in the Border region and as for the Border Scotland optout very poor pre recorded stuff with scripts that make NO sense to what the programme is "whatever the game we know the score it's time now for Scotsport " . Rolling Eyes every Sunday for the past five yrs .

I realy miss Maggie and Bob from Leeds but since Border pres has gone to London there are fewer mistakes but the announcers are crap .

.


The best had to be the Pete Haslam one - "Serving the WHOLE of our region, you're with BORDER". Our region? Aye right! Laughing

have I missed something? I thought Border was still run from Leeds


Probably means that since the non-regional idents have come in, there's little for TX to get confused about.


No there were much more mistakes than airing "the non-regional idents"actually.
