UTV Presentation Thread

Don't suppose anyone could YouTube the News at Ten UTV clip? My computer has decided it doesn't like the file up there /

Judging by the screengrabs they don't even say it's the News At Ten - they call it "World News"...

They probably want to avoid making a reference to "ITV News at Ten". I remember they did the same a few years ago when Mark Austin took over the Late Nooz, they replaced "ITV News" with "Network News" or something like that.

Another thing I noticed when I was back home, most of the announcers and presenters at UTV still refer to "ITN"...

It's already there, visit my YouTube channel: http://uk.youtube.com/utvtoday

Another version of the 'New for U' trailer has started airing tonight, featuring four of the cast of Emmerdale and filmed at the Giant's Causeway. They were in Belfast last week and appeared on UTV Life so obviously UTV had them record this before they went home! I'll put the video clip up tomorrow:

That's a pretty cool new trailer style.

As promised...

Seems UTV are starting to simulcast on their website www.u.tv from tomorrow morning. Well, they're testing it from 10:30am tomorrow anyway!

UTV's ECP menu has been changed to now include the web address in the bottom right hand corner. There's web promotions appearing left right and centre now!

I've just spotted a scheduling blunder at UTV. On Thu 21/2 at 22:35 they are repeating Moving Wallpaper along with ITV but not following it with Echo Beach at 23:05, opting out for RPM instead. Why not opt out of the first half of Nightwatch at midnight instead?

Brand new 'It's all about U' promo which has just started airing:
