ITV1 Presentation breakdown 04/02/09

As well as starting an ad break during the football, ITV1 managed to lose an entire ad break going into the delayed News at Ten.
This clip is from just before the last part of the football OB to the start of the news.

I've always called it the Televisual Clock of Death since we only ever see it when the networks go balls up.

0:02 what's that sound?

[@LunarFlareStudios]

@@manintheboxuk1982 It was just an audio glitch.

[@NermalCat]

If you remove the ITV logo from the breakdown screen and color it blue,you get the Windows 7 Beta login wallpaper

[@TheLogoWorldUK1]

[@meggriffin7938]

Meerkat! You'll pay £500 for THIS! Along with a jail granting for 45 infinitives!

hahahahahahahah lolol

[@HitsDifferentMusic]

I guess the VT might be somehow related to the screwed up ad break - perhaps the 60" is a reference to 60 seconds worth of adverts? Looks like 60 seconds of something....

[@etekweb]

It's a 60-second leader. It is the equivalent to the circular 5-4-3-2 on old films. Someone at the studio was supposed to cue up the ad files 60 seconds earlier, and a few seconds before air the timer would go to a black screen so you don't see a flash of the timer as they transition.

[@Schmeebz]

OH man, that is painful. Epic fail. Epic fail.
Ouch, bet that hurt ITV's pockets, losing an entire ad break. Eek, and a clock? Nightmare.

[@coleisforrobot]

Seeing that meercat all the way back then makes me feel old.

4:02 Well were having technical problems here on ITV1, We do apologize for this, And if you just like to bear with us, we’re going to try and get to the News at Ten as soon as possible.

[@markbeastall9501]

That took forever to wait for

[@JennyAnnTea]

I know everyone says digital is better but I kinda miss the old analogue and the breakdowns and music that came with those!

[@TheBlueRenegade]

I remember this. ITV did a break while Everton scored! FAIL.

[@LunarFlareStudios]

Me: I want to watch random videos of technical difficulties.
Meerkat: BOO!
(Okay, that was only funny to me.)

[@Jaggy2409]

[@ItsABeautifulDay.]

HELLO! ALEXANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!… WHY IN ITV1 NAME DID YOU SKIP THE ADS!

[@quertopiasa684]

During the football interview, I heard a 1 seconds buzzing sound in this video. I guess they have technical problems with the computers in ITV too
