Quote:I thought UTV Live should be ITV News Ulster TV. UTV Life gets cancelled. Then View From Stormont uses their set.
There is absolutely no chance the name "Ulster TV" will ever ever ever be brought back!! More chance of Julian in-vision continuity coming back than the Ulster TV brand name!
As for axing UTV Life?? Why would they do that? Its surely cheap as chips to make, hits the OFCOM obligations for regional programmes, and if ITV were to start penny pinching, more expensive to make regional programmes like Rare Breed, Hidden NI, the ones where they go out filming all over NI will be binned rather than Pamela sat in the studio holding a cue card and asking a few questions to a local celeb!
"From today you'll hear some new voices when you're watching UTV, as for the time being we're handing over to our colleagues at ITV, but rest assured Julian and I will be back with you as soon as possible"
