UTV rebrand

So, we had an announcerless UTV ident, followed by Julian appearing in-vision with his Santa update. He ended the update by introducing Blankety Blank.

UTV ident then Julian in his dinner suit CSO'd in front of a Christmas UTV slide, doing the santa update and linking into Blankety Blank.

Not watching the BBC One NI Santa Watch updates then

Nice. Much more than we hoped for a couple of months ago. Any clues as to whether it's live or pre-recorded?

Not the most exciting backdrop - but Julian, IVC, and Santa flashes on an ITV PLC station is not something to be sniffed at!!

Blimey, actual IVC! Very nice to see if they've made the effort.

EDIT: Apologies - it appears to be a 'closed' group, only members can see the videos.

It looks like it is in HD too. The nicest looking home made content by UTV in their studios to date. Pity it wasn't news/weather/Life related, as their cameras are awful and the SD picture quite poor, especially when you see it on UTV HD.

Bravo - good for them! Shame it was a 'straight' intro into tonight's Corrie.

I wonder if tomorrow night will also see IVC?

It's not exciting but nice enough, can't really fault it.
