Also, the other night during UTV Live, the VT on two reports went down and no apology was made on-screen.

Another day...

UTV's idents are dull as a big pile of dull stuff, the latest one I saw was a shot of some weeds with the UTV logo superimposed. They also have a picture of a field. Rolling Eyes

Watch out Scottish as UTV haver their sites firmly set on buying Scottish Television.

I take it UTV are into property then?

Is it the Cowcaddens sight that they have their sites set on?



They said they had decided against making a bid. How easy is it to say that?

I decided I wouldn't climb Everest today - like UTV's "ambitious take-over coup", I never had any intention either.


UTV now own about 5 radio stations in the republic

I know - and they also own UTV Internet (which they plug often enough!) and have radio interests across the water, too.

But that has nothing to do with the non-story of their non-takeover of SMG, nor of their poor on-screen image and general crappyness.

UTV must be (by a mile) the worst ITV region! Remember the good old day of the 'new' UTV in early 1990's with the catchy theme tune. Everytime UTV come out of a network programme something goes wrong. Does anyone agree?

Yeah I agree u can always see them break away from the ITV1 links, they should also take back the ident music they had, and does any of the current idents not feature water????????
unless the mall in Armagh

Other UTV idents that don't feature water:

The two Dromara idents

One of the Lurgan Park idents (you can't see Lurgan Lake, but you can see a quick shot of the disused paddling pool on the left of the screen at the start)

When are we going to get a UTV ident filmed in County Tyrone? The other five counties and Donegal have been represented.

Yes. Yours are particularly irritating though.

Not satisfied with embarrassing yourself in one thread, I see you're causing a stir in the BBC Newsline one as well.
