It's nice as an interim theme (such as GMB use when the regions fail) . . . what is the actual title sequence/music?

There is the theme used for the flagship programme Weather Centre Live. There are various versions for the different programs and if there severe weather coverage there is a different theme as well. Its darker.


Here is the darker STORM ALERT MODE theme

Severe coverage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHAS8Ckbm40&x-yt-cl=84503534&x-yt-ts=1421914688

I've had a go at combining the 2014 & 15 music to add those nice daytime melodies of the new music with the stings and brass of the old.
The date and headlines don't match up. There are no images to this.

Since I heard Sean Fletcher is coming to sunrise (my brekkie show) i'm recording it!
Back to GMB talk, that mock you made, fanoftv is ok for showing how ITV could remix the original music with the new music.

I feel I must draw attention to the latest version of PATV Scunthorpe's Good Morning Britain mock:



I'm not sure how to take it. The transitions and graphics are really quite good for a recreation, but the physical studio recreation is something I find horrific, hilarious and also semi-accurate.

Didn't GMTV2's airtime (which had the ITV2 capacity during GMTV's transmission hours) get surrendered to ITV2 (which is an ITV plc channel) when ITV plc took over GMTV to create ITV Breakfast? (It might have been earlier - but that would have been a GMTV/ITV commercial decision)


I think it was earlier - but as GMTV had the whole ITV half-MUX, agreements had to be reached so that ITV3, the ITV News Channel (and possibly the sport channel) could air between 6 and 9:25.


Each Channel 3 franchise had the rights to broadcast on the space used for ITV2. Carlton, Granada and United News & Media clubbed together to launch ITV2, SMG launched S2 and UTV had TV You. There was talk of an 'HTV2' for Wales (essentially ITV2 with local opt-outs) which never surfaced. And of course there was GMTV2 in the mornings.

In the early 00's, ITV Digital paid SMG and UTV off in order to make ITV2 national. GMTV2 continued and eventually adopted the CITV brand and the service was simulcast on the CITV channel.

When ITV2 went 24 hours in 2008, GMTV2 was given 6am-9:25am on ITV4, continuing to be simulcast on CITV.

This continued until GMTV was bought by ITV Plc.

Coincidentally, UTV2 closed 13 years ago today according to the MHP.

2002 (13 years ago)
DTT channel UTV2 became ITV2 after UTV reached a deal with Carlton and Granada, owners of ITV Digital. UTV had claimed ownership of the ITV name in Northern Ireland and demanded compensation for its use by ITV Digital. As with the similar agreement made for Scotland the previous year, ITV Digital was now free to launch its ITV Sport Channel in Northern Ireland.

Without ever having shown an advertisement! I wonder if they ever really thought the thing through. If they hadn't needed to reach a deal with ITV, I wonder whether it would ever have amounted to anything.

S2 (STV2) closed on 27/7/2001, so it didn't quite last as long as UTV2, as it became.

Both S2 and UTV2 were essentially simulcasts of ITV2 anyway by the time they gave up.

It was a dirty feed and S2 slapped a great big black and white DOG over the relatively acceptable opaque ITV2 one, which had a tendancy to wander around the screen because of aspect ratio switching, so sometimes it wouldn't get covered up properly.

In theory, all they had to remove was the local branding but, according to Wikipedia, S2 was replaced with the ITV Sport Channel. There was a gap until the ITV Sport channel closed in May 2002, when ITV2 programmes weren't shown in Scotland.

Did the same happen in Northern Ireland or did UTV2 simply become ITV2 overnight?

ITV2 is to become available to digital terrestrial viewers in Northern Ireland for the first time as the result of a deal between UTV, Carlton and Granada.

The digital channel will begin broadcasting in Northern Ireland on Friday, replacing UTV2.

The moves comes after Carlton and Granada, the two biggest ITV companies, agreed to compensate UTV, the Northern Ireland licensee, for the use of the ITV brand to promote ITV Digital and ITV Sport.

The settlement with UTV also clears the way for ITV Sport to launch on digital terrestrial TV in Northern Ireland.

ITV2 became available to Scottish digital terrestrial viewers last July, after Carlton and Granada struck a similar deal with Scottish ITV, which owns SMG.

New website promo graphic shown today, looks a lot like the one BBC News uses for the coming up sequence on the NC. It starts with an address bar having the address typed in, which highlights itself and goes transparent to reveal the network of pages.
