You’ve literally summed up what I came here to say. I found the BBC News app notification very baffling.
What authority are the credits governed by, or are they just honoured out of goodwill? What action could realistically happen if the correct credit wasn’t in place.
Presumably as ITV (reportedly) paid so much for it, they wanted the maximum out of it. Wonder if it’s been similar in other territories.
If there's one thing that comes out of this interview though, perhaps it will be that people finally stop referring to ITV Hub as ITV Player...! If Channel 4 had gone for it maybe they could have finally stopped people referring to their streaming service as 4oD, which I still hear people say much more frequently than All4...
This amazes me too, how both of those brands seemingly haven’t died after about 5 years. We must almost be heading into a longer time of the new names than the original ones.
Do the US networks often force the hands of their counterparts to so heavily credit them in the run-up to a big exclusive, or has this interview been the exception? On TV, it's been very strange to see straps on-screen throughout clips shown on the BBC etc today crediting the production companies and also specifically that the interview would be on ITV at 9pm and on ITV Hub. On Radio 1 this morning the newsreaders were even reading the full credit out! The BBC News app sending a push notification basically saying 'whack ITV on, it's starting' was also a bit of a surprise.
