The North East and Cumbria (and Southern Scotland) Thread

Well, it's nice to see and hear the Tyne Tees name back on the main programme with significant prominence. Surprisingly, ITV News Tyne Tees doesn't actually sound as bad as it reads.

ITV News in Tyne Tees *must never be uttered again*, on the other hand.

Good to see Kelso's town square clock in the titles!!

LOOKAROUND FULL PROGRAMME

I noticed that too

That *and* the BBC Scotland weather map, truly blessed as a town.

If the regions did eventually go virtually would it be technically possible for them to use two backgrounds so viewers in Tyne Tees see a shot from the North East and viewers in the Border region see a shot from Cumbria?

Possible, yes.

Expensive, yes.

Do you still have my old job?

No, been gone from there over a year now. Living most of my time in Glasgow - studies/work

itv NEWS - Tyne Tees: Late Bulletin

Last night I captured Lookaround in full, tonight Opening, joining pan-regional and weather/close from ITV News Tyne Tees... (Regional DOGS back too, looks like just TT&B using them)


Christ Pete, Kelso doin' well this week! (4:20)

Border's news operation is branded as follows, post 18:15...

ITV News Lookaround on the TV guide, ITV News Tyne Tees & Border on a studio plasma and LOOKAROUND as the DOG.

AKA - mess.

I'm surprised that the "Tyne Tees & Border" name is now being used post-18:15.

The previous practice of largely/entirely trying to avoid mentioning any programme name whatsoever post-18:15 seemed quite a clever solution to me - allowing any given viewer to continue regarding it by the first half's title.

For any television programme - news bulletin or otherwise - to change name midway through a single continuous episode/edition/bulletin is rather odd.
