Nottingham is now ahead of its counterpart in Birmingham in terms of style, all their bulletins appear much fresher in comparison. Time for a rethink at The Mailbox.

100% Agree, but a lot of it comes down to budgets and care. If you've got staff that frankly don't care or have been massively downsized since 2008 you will see a difference in quality.

I doubt we'll see the regions being as inventive as they once were ever again, little things like this are nice, as are some of their other title sequences (Spotlight, NWT, LN Leeds) but others their on air appearance is simply not important (MTD)
Regions doing their own thing is a waste of time. They're always forced back to the generic look next rebrand - and we know one's due soon due to the Reith font.

Ahhh the short lived NWT 2007 revamp... now that was superb. Great titles, wonderful music and the launch of Ranvir joining Gordon.
