Any news on what Grampian & Scottish will be doing next week when all the itv's will change?

My own guess would be NOTHING..........the ident with Bryan (who) Burnett has years to run yet ehh!!

Personally, I can't see them changing for a while yet. Any reason why they recently axed the ITV idents and now stick with Scotland Today personalities?

Have a mate who works there, apparently they are getting rid of two of the staff announcer positions, retaining one of the ex staffers as a freelance, and using some new freelancers for the other position.

More cuts! How many is that now?

Did your mate mention about any new idents?

That is a shame.......however the presentation dep needs a huge kick up the bum!

Most of the announcers also need to sort themselves out. They sound as though they are bored to tears (mind you they will be if they are watching anything SMG produce). One of the guys always makes stupid silly comments after the soaps....this sounds naff!!

I have noticed a few new voices over the festive period and I have not heard Kate Fraser for a while.............time will tell then eh?

I would guess they have stoped using the itv celebs because most of them no longer were on contract to itv!

SMG need to do something though......the new itv ones could work great if they were used over Scottish landmarks!!

SMG & UTV presentation has to be the best argument yet in favour of the consolidated ITV.

Regional ITV presentation for those that have it is just dire.

they wouldn't have to be owned by itv plc to adopt the (presumably modified) new idents. for example carlton and granada shared the celeb idents whilst they were still separate entities.

Yes, but apart from the initial batch of celebs, they've never bothered before have they ?

And if they don't want to adopt the itv plc identity then they have the perfect opportunity to stamp their own mark, yet they fail to do so, and you end up with a mish mash of presentation.

What's the problem ? Lack of resources, creativity, inclination ? If you're not going to make the effort, may as well just submit to ITVplc. If I were in SMG land, I think I'd be kicking and screaming for ITV plc presentation.
