Unfortunately, this year GMTV has gained a bit of a reputation for dealing with the regional opt-out badly, with regions going on air too early or not at all happening more than it should (which caused the infamous messup by Anglia where Emma was seen chatting and fiddling with her bra on air).
Here's an example of GMTV making yet another messup with the regions, going into Anglia News, and then going straight back to GMTV. Copyright GMTV - All Copyrights Acknowledged.

I remember this one ... ( 3 months ago by triassicranger)

I remember this one time the people were talking on the sofa, then suddenly it cut to the London Today desk for a few minutes, even though it was empty. After we came back from the accidental opt-out, the producers acknowledged it and joked they were talking about stuff like "how to cure cancer".

There isn't any ... ( 3 months ago by orryverducci)

There isn't any more, as this was the only fault on the day (the other regional opt-outs worked correctly), and there was no mentions of the fault.

It doesn't even look like there was any problem to start with, unless this thing kicks in automatically with silence, and the desk was faded down in London.

The looping logo ... ( 3 months ago by orryverducci)

The looping logo and music is always played by GMTV during regional opt-outs. Basically, the system responsible for switching from GMTV to the regional studios, failed and for some strange reason changed it back to GMTV a few seconds after it started. Nothing to do with silence detectors or mixing desks here, just a computer playing up (silence detectors aren't used in TV to my knowledge, however they are used extensively in radio).

The VT is a safety ... ( 1 month ago by brammyd)

The VT is a safety that we put out just in case the remote system hasnt opted out the regions. Often the Studio and Gallery don't know an opt out hasn't happened until its too late and this seems to be the best compromise....By the way imagine watching this three times a morning for the last 15 years....some of us have to ! From the studio floor..

It's not unlike the ... ( 1 month ago by filmnet)

It's not unlike the captions you'd see on C4 when the ITV regions hadn't put ads. Is the cue-dot just a back up for the regions to manually use if the remote switching fails? Or do some regions use it on a normal basis?
