I must admit to not having watched UTV Live in a very good while, and hardly at all it’s current incarnation. But it certainly used to be the case that every bulletin was branded “UTV Live” (the six o’clock one being “UTV Live at Six” at one point).
Interesting that there’s a UTV News logo rather than UTV Live logo in this photograph that Mark McFadden tweeted yesterday.
Isn't it just the main 6pm programme branded as UTV Live? Therefore UTV News would the the brand as a whole.
In previous years it was only the main programme that was called UTV Live, with the others being called UTV News, but all programmes have been called UTV Live for the last few years now.
I must admit, I don't think I have ever heard the words "UTV News" said on TV before, it has always in my memory, going back to the early 90's, been called and referred to on air as "UTV Live".

There was a short period around 10 years ago when only the 6pm bullitin was called UTV Live and everything else was UTV News however this didn`t last long and everything was back to UTV Live after the 2009 rebrand. As you say since 1993 everything was UTV Live. Heres an example below.
Last news broadcast from U105 today from Havelock House.
End of an era at UTV as the U105 radio news is broadcast from the Ormeau Rd for the final time. Good luck as they go their own way, one floor below the new UTV building at CQ2.
Havelock House will be missed, nostalgia will take over. Yes it was not the biggest television centre, their largest studio was only 2,500 Sq Ft, but it had warmth in times of deep dark days for people in Northern Ireland. The Kelly Show on a Friday night at 10.40pm live would brighten up a usually dark bleak Friday, especially when they got UK or US celebs to actually come to Belfast. UTV had warmth and actually felt like they cared about their region. Shame that as now they are part of the ITV mix, all that has gone, never to return, especially with the closure of Havelock House very soon.
