The ident before Tonight with Trevor McDonald tonight had the UTV Jingle on it. Something I haven't heard on UTV in nearly two years!


That's what I love to see - consistency.

Good old UTV used one with something vaguely like the Big Blue soundtrack before The South Bank Show (OT: why is this on a Monday night!) tonight. Go figure...

I'm not sure but at this rate the "lolly on a stick" is likely to make an appearance any day now.

I was about to say "That wouldn't surprise me", but then I remembered...

Oh, the horror!

Are we talking about a UTV Christmas Ident 2004, but with an old UTV jingle soundtrack... or an old ident?

This all sounds barmy... but then we are talking about UTV.

It really wouldn't surprise me if it was comign from tape and they had to change to the second part!

On the other hand it could have been technical issues, but then again the regions would have been aware of it in advance. I'm guessing more logistical reasons.


Given that they had the second part on tape (or even server), why not just cut from one event to the next? Why the need for a 'break'? Don't tell me they only have one machine and needed the break to eject one tape and load the next!

A UTV Christmas Ident 2004, but with an arrangement of the UTV Jingle used on all UTV idents between the launch of the UTV brand in June 1993, and the launch of the ITV1 corporate look in October 2002 (at which point UTV dropped its own jingle and adopted the ITV1 ones).

IMHO, The UTV xmas jingle sounds ten times better then ITV's generic ones.
Why can't they just use the one they created!

Well they've just played out the ident with an actual decent announcement!

"We bring you football action from The Championship. That's after the national and international news from the studios of ITN...in London"

"though we 'll not have any local news until the day after tomorrow because everyone is on holiday".
