UTV is Part of U

Scheduled after "UTV Live Tonight" (and "The View") for 11.05pm and introduced by ex-Newsline and UTV Live reporter Yvette Shapiro. Possibly a continuation of previous series with the same title introduced by Fearghal McKinney and the late Jim Dougal.

I thought UTV had given up on current affairs outside the "UTV Live" strand?!?

Interesting! Was also quite surprised to see an episode of Insight last week, and with new titles too!

'The View' just doesn't work, does it?

OK, so 'Hearts & Minds' had become a bit tired, dull and not terribly worthy, but it was also a bit of an old reliable, if only for Noel Thompson's combative interviewing, and the 'If You Ask Me?' commentaries, with the excellent Ian Knox cartoons.

It did run for 16 years .... if its successor manages 16 months, it will be doing well.

Noticed this earlier when I was on u.tv on the iPad:



Doesn't appear when you view on the laptop though!

As a side note, they still haven't updated this logo to the new one used on the idents!

I wonder why they are promoting Danske Bank, rather than its subsidiary Northern Bank. The local football league is called the Danske Bank Premiership too. Surely they're not planning a rename for Northern Bank.

Northern Bank HAS been re-branded as 'Danske Bank', effective 15 November 2012.

Fools. Danske is a name that people might have trouble spelling or pronouncing. It might work in it's home country, but not in this one.

Santander???

So, Ofcom's giving UTV another 10 years then.

I can't make up my mind if it's good or bad.

They've done it to all their operations as of this week. National Irish Bank, which is effectively the part of Northern Bank operating south of the border - or whats left of it after they closed all their branches - also took on the Danske Bank name.

Christmas presentation has started on UTV today, fantastic effort from them! Best Christmas idents I've seen on UTV in a long long time! Will see if I can get some caps after dinner.

Someone really needs to tell UTV that the year is now 2013! Here we are on the 7th January and they're still showing the DRAMA 2012 sting on their trailers!
