Has the EPG changed yet for ITV1 Wales/West on Sky channel 103 - or does it still say ITV1 HTV Wales/West?

YES! at last Notnormal has come out of the closet as the all-new and improved NEVERnormal! because I've had the op (on the
NHS) and no longer swing freely!
I think broadband cowboy should be "rebranded" as Bitratelimiteddigitallycompressedboy seeing as his employers have gone "all futuristic" like....... Very Happy


Huh ! , Do us a favour Mrs. double-N and get your facts right. Looks like the surgeon cut off more than your pri ck - what's it like being and having a fanny at the same time ? Razz

I cannot *believe* not-normal has returned. I am literally star-struck, it's made today truly special.

Nice to have the weather actually within the lunchtime news, works really well, but I'll need to see two peeps in the studio -- will there still be the little previews at 5.30 and just before 6 I am pondering?

Rumour has it, Peanut fainted with excitement when he thought Andrew had broken the new graphics this morning. He's since put his tail between his legs though, of course.

BUT -- why but why but why, does Tyne Tees make little regional images for its bulletin but Wales don't. Hmm?

Did anyone capture that report about ITV Wales News' new look? It had a TWW ident and both of the Wales Tonight opening titles.

Well the colours are nicer than before, a bit like the old Wales Tonight -- and fab behind the scenes of the relaunch, probably with an interview that every region got, but very Wales-ified nevertheless. West had a similar one afterwards, with embarrassing photos, but it wasn't as good.

The dog is very sometimeish though isn't it. Sometimes there, sometimes not. Others seem not to have it at all, but have a huge big backdrop of something in their city made up of little squares. Wales have places, but no, imperialist aggressors take them away.

Almost certainly an improvement, with the exception of the music, in my opinion. You can almost believe the weather is live, and in Cardiff.

I noticed that was a part where the dog *was* there. Tut.

Tsk, yes, but did you record it? I'd like to see a capture.

I did yes. But patience, young Fred -- the news hour isn't over yet.

I'll put a few captures up in a bit. But ooo, nice finish, with a picture of something regional at last.

I'm surprised the Newport clock wasn't featured in the titles, and there's no sign of Peanut either.
