Northern Ireland is its own nation, as is Scotland and Wales. I argue that they should have their own, slightly more autonomous brand, because as of now, all of them are still basically getting the same thing as a viewer in, say, Yorkshire or London would get. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are culturally different from England, and so should have a more autonomous ITV 1. It can be dual branded, or branded with its own idents, but I do believe this.
But Yorkshire is culturally different from London. Even Liverpool is culturally different from Manchester.
But they are still part of England. You are right in saying that, Yorkshire is different to Leeds which is different to Manchestor which is different to Liverpool, etc. Scotland, Wales, and NI are not regions though, they are constituent nations of the UK, and that is why I do think UTV branding still has a place on ITV 1 in Northern Ireland. That's the point I am trying to make here, that as a nation, Northern Ireland's ITV 1 should have dual branding, as it is not a local news region, but a country.
I'd also like to talk about this, because it bugs me. Maybe its because BBC has the blocks seamlessly move around from trailer to bumper to ident, and that has spoiled me, but these transitions look messy. Surely the logo should be uniform on each item of pres?
