	ITV Nightscreen	comment	ITV Nightscreen was a programme on the ITV television network, consisting of a sequence of animated pages of information about ITV's upcoming programmes, features and special events, with an easy listening music soundtrack. The programme was used to fill the station's overnight downtime, where a closedown would have once been used at the end of programmes. The programme was generally shown 7 days a week with the typical weekday show airing from 03:50am - 05:05am daily. It aired for the final time on the 1st October 2021, and was replaced by Unwind with ITV.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On STV, UTV and in the Channel Islands the programme started earlier, sometimes as early as midnight, breaking for a signed programme at 3am before resuming and occasionally in Scotland it has been known to broadcast continually from 1:00 am to 6:00 am without a break. However on ITV's digital channels, the amount of Teleshopping affected how much Nightscreen was broadcast and also on ITV during Summer & Christmas and on emergency recovery test more hours were broadcast as live Jackpot 24/7 was not shown - thus saw the Nightscreeen broadcasting until 5:05am-6:00am non stop. Very occasionally it was not broadcast due to live events and other programming filling its hour. The programme also broadcasted on all of ITV's +1 channels.It was first broadcast on 14 January 1998, and consisted of teletext pages taken from the ITV regional teletext services, with interstitial teletext-based animations in a similar style to the former 4-Tel On View.[1] Since 2003 the screens have been produced using Scala Info Channel 3. In early 2009, updated systems were installed with the latest version of Scala 5, with a dual redundant system to counter any issues of service. In April 2012, the system was upgraded again to a newer version of Scala 5. This, amongst other minor presentational changes, allowed compatibility of the service to be transmitted in 16:9 widescreen for the first time, as opposed to 4:3.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Nightscreen has, in the past, been criticised for highlighting programmes which had already aired, and for some careless typing and spelling errors but now regularly avoids doing this. As well as providing focus on upcoming programmes, films and TV listings, it also offered some news from the world of entertainment. In the past it also offered sports news and even on some occasions cooking tips, recipes and also fact files of characters from famous ITV shows such as Emmerdale and Coronation Street.The Scala system was provided by Beaver Group, and the programme was produced by Gower Creative Communications. The Music was Supplied by APM Music. (This can be found in the Library of ‘Juice On Demand (JMOD)’. All the ‘Positive Tunes’ Albums are where you can find the music.)
