No, she’s been on a few times over the summer and presented earlier in the week with Paul Clark himself!

I think we can safely say there will no new UTV idents filmed in the province. ITV are happy with what they have got and that is it. It will only be a matter of time before UTV suddenly vanishes and ITV pops up. They are just delaying the inevitable. It happened to Channel Television, took two years or so, I suspect the next big revamp of the ITV idents will see the end of the UTV name.

So ITV lied then about the promises to film the idents in the press release about the rebrand.

Look at how long you have been waiting for these so called idents. October 2016 to September 2018. You really think they will arrive now?

It will never happen. ITV network idents are the UTV idents. They might if they are feeling generous of providing a special one or two but other than that, UTV is ITV in all but name.

I understood them to mean they were going to shoot some network idents in Northern Ireland at some point, for ITV and UTV, rather than specific idents for UTV.
