Why do ITV have that black and white thing in the corner indicating there's going to be a commercial break but no other TV channel do anything like that?

 

In the past few decades, the cue dot was used extensively on the UK's ITV and Channel 4 networks as a commercial break was approaching. This was for the benefit of the regional playout centres who would need to play in commercials for their region. Automation and playout servers led to this being phased out and it is now used only for some live presentations, especially those with regional opt-outs or variable ad breaks. The cue dot appears about 1 minute before the break and disappears 5 seconds before the break starts. ITV use a spinning black-and-white ticker in the corner of the screen. In recent years, ITV has reduced to using the cue dot during coverage of sporting events (e.g. football matches), and any other programmes that are being broadcast live.

I'd wondered that too, cheers bro.

The more I watch of this Holland team the less impressed I get, which doesn't bode well if we beat Cameroon or draw and then have to play them. Teams that unimpress me usually kicks us out of tournaments.
