UTV thread

Pretty sure that's Marc Mallett; a newsreader from Citybeat.

Ah yes, that's who I think it is.

I had wondered if it was another Mark who announces for the other side...

Just uploaded his news bulletin from Friday night onto YouTube.

...could we have a link to it?

Oops sorry! YouTube Link

UTV have again altered their breakbumper to read "It's all about the creature". I assume this is for Frankenstein tonight:

And this week UTV are running an environmental campaign called "U Can Make a Difference" trying to highlight global warming. These short films have been airing throughout the schedule, featuring UTV personalities:

Another new face/voice yesterday on UTV in the form of Lynda Wilson:

She was on continuity duty yesterday afternoon and read both the morning and afternoon UTV News bulletins. I have uploaded the first of the two to YouTube

The UTV Autumn Driveaway competition has now been changed to Winter Driveaway with matching Christmassy graphics!

Let's hope the rest of their Christmas graphics are nice this year! Going by the last few years, I assume UTV's Christmas pres will start on Monday 10th December. Anyone know?

Original Christmas graphics? No 2003 snowflakes?

I hope UTV rustle up something nice for their on-screen presentation this Christmas - they didn't do too badly last year (and made an effort unlike the rest of the ITV network, who knows, they might use that special Christmas version of their ident tune - or we might get more IVC slots from the expanded announcer team than just Jules or local schoolkids.

Another new breakbumper being used today in preparation for tonight's documentary about the film which was shot on Cave Hill:
