There's a big gaping hole before Corrie just now.

I guess it's better the final IVC is on Sunday with Julian.

I'm surprised there was no announcement at the end of UTV Live to say anything about the new look on Monday. Maybe they're going to wait until Sunday's programme.

Or, given he's been off all week on his last ever few days doing the job live, he's resigned and we won't be seeing him again.

Entirely possible and I would respect him for doing that if ITV wouldn't let him sign off the way he wants to.

Init. This sort of rambling is harking back to 2002/2003.

That report is pretty much a cut and paste of what ITV have said every time a regional centre has been moved to a shed in a business park. Farewell another regional service.

ITV have either relocated to smaller premises, or downsized the current premises, for each of the regions it owns, and UTV was never going to be an exception.

UTV rebrands to match ITV

UTV creative director Trevor McCormick said the rebranding heralded “an exciting chapter for UTV”.


This is effectively the beginning of the end for UTV. I can't really see how that is an "exciting chapter"

Hasn't Havelock House been too big for UTV for years though? I thought I'd read it was bound to happen sooner or later even if they'd stayed independent.

Yeah, haven't they got two large studios and only one of them is in use?
