Latest Carlton Scandal Posted Wed Nov 22 07:19:50 GMT 2000 by 'Whataday'

HTV Wales has a certain amount of money a year to advertise it's programmes on bill boards and posters. Well, since before I can remember, they have always had an advert on a billboard near my house. Now it has a Carlton Cinema ad.
And now I've noticed other ads for Carlton Cinema in other places around Wales, where they should be advertising HTV. They're here, and they've taken over.

Give Carlton a decent channel and watch 'em turn it into some sorta crappy 'cable' channel!

Hmmm i feel like placing a bet now saying that HTV (west or wales) will not exist in a years time! You just watch (pardon the pun!)....little by little they are going to get rid of the HTV brand...you just start watching that little htv logo in the corner of the promos - going, HTV News - going, any good local programmes - gone! :(

Lets all get sky digital where there is no ITV yippe!

Has any of HTV`s output been `Carltonised`yet? Are you still using the hearts ident or have you got the CARLtON* star yet because you will get it believe me, and probably sooner than you think

no he wont, how many times do you stupid people need to be told, Carlton are not going to and have no plans to change HTV to Carlton -
Its a national broadcaster for heavens sake, although technically regional it is the national broadcaster for Wales, they are not going to change it - apart from anything else, too costly

... especially as half the presentation comes from Granada-owned Meridian (at the moment). Too tricky.

More to the point, Carltonm has FINALLY got the message about changing names and is going to reinstate the Westcountry and Central names.

What about the Central rainbow thing? That's the only reason I ever watched it :-)

This has been said before. Are you sure?
