ITV rebrands and announcer changes

Well we're now 22 days into the new look, and I'm noticing a trend on ITV1 that when a rebrand takes place, changes are made to the announcing team.

When the second set of celebs came in, David Allan mysteriously vanished from the overnight shift to be replaced by Andy Jay. Now ITV1 has again changed its look, we have not heard Paul Jamieson or Sasha Twining since. Graham Rogers, Paul Seed and Sonia Clark are still there, joined by a new female voice.

Have Paul and Sasha gone, or are they on an extended holiday?

Well if you look on Paul Jamieson's website in the Announcers section, it says the Sasha now freelances.

Paul Jamieson was doing ITV1 last Saturday, I don't think he's gone anywhere.

WAS ANDY JAYE THE CiTV PRESENTER AN ITV1 ANNOUNCER?
I thought maybe he was just a regional announcer!
[Before the celeb invasion of 02']

He did overnights on ITV1, after originally announcing for ITV2.

And then as you said TV Guy went onto do CiTV links, before it going Out of vision, and now, who knows where he is!

I know that i have mentioned this on the day of the new lauch.On Border Scotland optout tonight into Scotsport ITV 1 are still using the old news ident .

Jamieson's still there..........................

unfortunately.

OK, Mr Harvey, It's quite clear you HATE Paul Jamieson, well what announcers do you like then?

From the top, then:-

Sylvia Peters
McDonald Hobley
Peter Haigh
Michael Aspel
Michael St John
Annie St John
Philip Banks
Maggie Mash
Trish Bertram
Glen Thompsett

Jamieson's web site sums it up really, doesn't it? You go there and there's absolutely NO way of shutting him up.

I agree on that.

Oh that name brings back memories. Annie was hugely popular up in Tyne Tees land too. Sadly missed.

Love Auntie Trish and Auntie Maggie too.
