UTV Christmas Presentation

Today saw the start of Christmas presentation on UTV with "You're home" changing to the slogan "Your home for Christmas". This was the first ident aired at 5:30pm before UTV Live:

Apologies for the low quality, my DVD recorder was on the wrong setting!

UTV are certainly making better idents than ITV.

Nice idents. Certainly a lot better than ITV1

I like the concept and the "You're Home" slogan - it ties in with the notion of ex-pats like me who come back for the Christmas holidays. Not bad at all.

I also hope there's more than one ident in the series - don't want to think Christmas in NI can be represented by lit trees outside the City Hall in Belfast.

Any sign of trailers or other promotions using the Christmas style yet? Usually the trailers go to air before any idents in the past few years. I suppose we'll have to wait until Friday to see what they do regards IVC.

I love the fact people seem to find a basic filmed piece inside the trailer endboard with a cheesy sparkly effect and a cheesier slogan better than ITVs expensive part-cg idents!

There must be more than this one because the new ident jingle that Peter gave us a sneak preview of is not used on this ident. The jingle used was a very short one so this must be the ident used for short junctions.



Not yet Col, I've been looking out for them. I'm quite surprised they haven't added anything to them yet, considering they do usually start them before the idents.

Just noticed the breakbumper there now though during the break on UTV Live...nothing special really!

Oh, and at least they have their punctuation correct this year

I prefer ITVs idents still. The 'tv' part in the capture reminds me of gmtv

Just seen the UTV Christmas-style break bumper - nice of them to pay tribute to Southern Television 25 years after they lost their franchise!
