I've heard that the newsprogrammes will still keep their original or current names just with ITV News in front of it instead

The programme names may or may not change, I know of a slight change of programme title in one region.... Very Happy


*slaps his own wrist for joining in the speculation*

would it be the htv bulletins losing their names? cos itv news htv news would not really work Confused

but saying that, neither would itv news anglia news - or itv news central news.

sticking itv news before everything seems a bit gay to me.

I don't know where adding ITV News before every region's programme name came from.... it's not true!

All ITV regional news progs will get a generic set of titles but featuring local scenes in them to match the national ITV News and the ITV News Channel.

AFAIK the title music won't change in the regions.

The titles are all based on the yellow and blue squares.

The programme names may or may not change, I know of a slight change of programme title in one region.... Very Happy

And what about the programme sets - will they change to mirror the national look ?

Glad to hear the themes are remaining, wouldn't want to lose the fab Calendar theme, and the titles featuring scenes from the region would actually be an improvement on that wireframe Calendar thing.

How can the regions be made to seem generic if they have different titles and music.

Although I am happier that Border will keep the same music they have had since 1993, although they would have to shorten it/revamp it to fit in with the other regions.

And in answer to another question, yes, all the sets will be the same across the country.[/quote]

Do you know what the sets will be like, what sort of backdrop will they have (destination, newsroom or just a plain backdrop).

How come you can release so much information? It's a breath of fresh air when compared to the BBC lot!

It's more like the second picture, think more yellow and blue squares moving across the screen, and as they flip over, they have local scenes on the other side.


Ah so it could be a bit like the Anglia News opening... squares are flying about and rotating, bending, like leaves flying into the air. Only they'd be big enough to see whats on them. And they wouldnt be flying about, they'd probably be sliding left or right and flipping over.

Or maybe something like the main blue ITV1 ident with rotating glass squares Evil or Very Mad so many possibilities!

The circular text theme from the national news is going.

North E/T will become ITV News North East Tonight/Today

North East Today isn't shown any more, in any case, it wasn't a proper news show.

but what would they use for Tyne Tees, will they say Tyne Tees or North East


I don't think they'd use North East again - It sounds too much like Channel 3 North East Confused .
