When they come out of the title sequence (UTV Live) they have a wide shot of the studio for about half a second before going into a close of the hosts. It looks really odd, a mistake perhaps but seeing they've included on last nights show it looks like it's here to stay.
It seems like they are trying to do what they used to , the old title sequence faded off screen before the music ended and they had a sweeping shot that syncs with the last few seconds of the theme , but now the titles play to the end and it seems they are trying to retain that shot but it just comes across as awkward.
They really ought to do exactly what all other ITV plc regions do - Mix from the end of the main titles straight to the presenter 2-shot, and save any kind of wideshot for after the post-headlines sting.
Paul Clark doing a rare Friday for him maybe with the axing of UTV Live Tonight we shall see him doing Fridays more. Certainly not complaining as I really enjoy his style.
Anyone else noticed those shadow shape on the backing behind the desk are the old logo?
Just a thought as I haven't seen much news of late, are UTV cutting the sports presentation down as I have not seen much of our lovely Ruth Gorman (sports) it now just seems to be a little tit bit on the end of each bulliten.

Sport seems to be featured most nights still and Ruth's standard closing line - ''That's your sport bye for now''. Although since its lost its sponsorship about a month or so ago it isn't always featured every night.
