Granada dropped that Ident at 6pm, about 2 weeks after the first new look ITV 1. I think it might have been because alot of the time they said the wrong region presenters for it.


I think all ITV1 regions did the same.

A question, were Calendar the only ones to knock up their own logo to put on the plasmas and dropping the generic name + four squares logo?

I've never understood why they don't show an ident at 6pm going into the regional news. If it's too much bother for ITV to broadcast regional idents at that point (even though they can manage regional trails), why don't the regions themselves play out local idents, perhaps even tagged onto the front of the opening titles as Border used to do?


I imagine its too much hassle for the CA to record lots of different announcements for each region - although they could just say now the news from your region, or something like that.

ITV Wales dont bother with announcement either and they have their own announcers so have no excuses!

They also dont have idents into regional news at the weekends either.

Why not have the presenter speaking over the ident, then go into the titles like Look North used to do?
