Happy New Year 2022

ITV followed their usual New Years Eve tradition of not doing much by sticking on a Bond film to run all the way from 9pm through to their New Year news at 11.45pm junction. Going in to the 9pm junction did acknowledge the occasion though.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

As a result of the Bond showing, the next New Year's Eve junction for ITV was into the 11.45pm news junction. Though at least to end 2021 they announced the name of the programme correctly, as opposed to 2020 where it had been announced as the 'News at Ten'. The same news-safe ITV Creates ident as saw out 2020 was reused again.

The crossover from 2021 to 2022 in the middle of the ITV news was a slightly bumpy affair for this year. With the video package for Berlin failing to appear, before the graphics reappeared for it over the London shot, other graphics out of sync, and some awkward pauses in sound. But it's live television, so we can forgive!

The closing to the New Year crossover bulletin for ITV, as they exited into 2022.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Immediately following the New Year crossover bulletin ITV aired their first Weather bulletin for 2022, providing a chance to use their New Year weather graphics, as well as giving Becky Martin from the weather team the chance to wish everyone a Happy New Year shortly before 12.10am.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With their usual short breakout for the news done, it was back to movies for ITV as usual with their first junction of 2022 at 12.10am on January 1st.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The rest of the ITV overnight schedule was fairly typical for any day on ITV, however they did provide a special welcoming announcement for 2022 into the 6am breakfast junction the following morning. Unlike at the start of the first broadcast day in 2021, no new idents were aired but instead the Christmas ones continued in use.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

STV pres felt a bit different to recent years for the 2021 to 2022 changeover. Hogmanay has always been a big occasion in Scotland, so the broadcaster puts considerable amounts of effort into New Year's Eve programming compared to network ITV. However despite the programme efforts, continuity announcements on STV often tended to make little reference to the occasion. This time round however it seemed a lot more pointers were being made. Firstly, the 8pm junction for New Year's Eve on STV, referring back to a spectacular year of soap storylines.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Auld Lang Syne gets referenced in the 10pm New Year's Eve junction on STV, as they take a look back at their famous home-grown soap Take The High Road. No Bond movie fillers around these parts.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

STV's final link for 2021 aired into the 11.30pm junction, with the channel as usual running their own Hogmanay show rather than cutting to ITV News at 11.45pm like the network.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

STV rejoined a similar schedule to the rest of the ITV Network at 12.10am, but not before making sure to wish everyone a Happy New Year once again in the junction.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With January 1st 2022 being a Saturday, it meant it was a day where the traditional 9.25 junction was still retained. So STV chose to use this time to once again wish everyone a Happy New Year rather than doing it at 6am before they handed over to ITV for the breakfast hours.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Over recent New Years, Channel 4 had tended to schedule a long show from 11pm until 1am. For the 2021 to 2022 crossover, they instead went with shorter episodes of mostly Gogglebox, with a lot more junctions either side then acknowledging the changeover, courtesy of Danny Cowen. Here the announcement into the 9pm junction on New Year's Eve, as they were building up to midnight.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The last announcement for 2021 was made shortly after 11pm on New Year's Eve, managing to get in the 'Altogether Different' tagline that 4 had been using for the past few months in in ways you may never have thought possible.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With the 11.05pm starting show running until just past midnight on New Year, the first announcement of 2022 actually fell to the end credit promotion over the finishing show. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A few minutes later, the first full link of 2022 also appeared on Channel 4. Once again welcoming people in to the New Year, much nearer to midnight than had happened in most recent years for Channel 4.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

References to New Year 2022 continued well into the early hours on Channel 4, with an example here from the 2.10am junction on the channel.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The Channel 4 offshoot channels tended to be quite good at mentioning the New Year 2021 to 2022 changeover, as had been the case in previous years too. Leading the continuity stakes once again was More4, with tailored announcements both before and after midnight. The 9.40pm junction on New Year's Eve here.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Getting very close to midnight on More4, with more special continuity into the 11.45pm junction on New Year's Eve.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Welcoming everyone in on the other side, the first announcement of 2022 for More4 appeared into the 12.50am junction on the channel.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Film4 also marked the New Year with announcements either side of midnight. The final junction for 2021 aired at 11.30pm on New Year's Eve mentioning how they were ringing in the New Year.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

On the other side of midnight, the first announcement for 2022 on Film4 aired into the 1.35am junction on the channel.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

E4 were the last of the Channel 4 offshoot channels to make several mentions to the New Year in their continuity, albeit some of them looser than others. The 9pm junction here, reminding everyone of 2019 when there was much less to worry about.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

E4's final junction of 2021 aired at 11.05pm, introducing another repeat of Naked Attraction to welcome in 2022.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With the Naked Attraction repeat spanning midnight, the first announcement on E4 for 2022 was an End Credit Promotion over the show's credits around 12.10am. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

This was followed up on E4 a few moments later with their first junction of 2022, introducing another repeat of Naked Attraction. If you were worried that naked people in boxes had completely replaced the obligatory E4 New Year marathon of 'The Inbetweeners' by the way have no fear - that followed for the rest of the early hours.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

For the switchover from 2021 to 2022, 4Music used the same countdown animation that had been used for the previous year too across all the Box Music channels. However unlike the last year, the countdown was simply placed between two songs this year with no ident for the station appearing.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

To see in the New Year in Wales, S4C had a long version of their magazine programme Heno starting from 10.30pm and running until shortly after midnight. The programme junction and start for the special show features here, with the channel still using their Christmas presentation package at this point.

A brief look at how S4C covered the changeover of the calendar itself at midnight, in the middle of their Heno programme.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

S4C's Heno programme finished shortly after midnight. The final junction at 12.10am before handing over to overnight teleshopping featured a trailer for upcoming 2022 shows, before continuity finished the night with their first 2022 announcement.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Channel 5 historically tended to make little mention of the New Year, running long shows around the crossover instead. For the change from 2021 to 2022 they continued with several long music-party style shows. However continuity made reference to the actual reason behind the shows this year. The 9pm junction New Year's Eve junction on Channel 5 here.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

More mentions of 'Hogmanay' in the 10.55pm junction leading in to the show which would cross midnight for Channel 5.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

References to the New Year on Channel 5's offshoot channels were very scarce for the 2021/2022 changeover, with 5USA, 5Select, Paramount and 5Star generally all running business as usual. However the 11.05pm junction on 5Star did at least make mention of some New Year's Day programming that would be coming up on the main channel.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Horror even managed to acknowledge the New Year changeover from 2021 to 2022, with a tailored announcement into their 11pm junction on New Year's Eve. This was the only one of the CBS channels to have anything specific for the New Year, with the rest of the CBS family using their usual pre-recorded content warnings or no announcements at all over their respective idents.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

For New Year 2021 to 2022, Dave ran their typical marathon schedule of Gavin and Stacey over the crossover. However unlike the previous year where continuity had been left mostly generic, this time round they'd once again gone to the effort of pre-recording a large amount of tailored continuity for the evening. The 9pm junction from New Year's Eve first, where they were appropriately showing a Not Going Out New Year special.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The 10pm junction for Dave on New Year's Eve, reminding you it's New Year's Eve incase you'd forgotten.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The 10.40pm junction from New Year's Eve on Dave, still showing more Gavin and Stacey but making the effort on a fresh announcement for each junction.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The final junction for 2021 from Dave aired around 11.20pm on December 31st.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Dave aired their first junction for 2022 mere seconds after midnight on January 1st, wishing everyone a Happy New Year in another tailored junction for the occasion. After this junction, the station mostly returned to generic continuity for the rest of the early hours.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

UKTV chose to focus their New Year continuity efforts on Dave for the 2021 to 2022 crossover, with their other free channels Drama and Yesterday continuing with mostly the same un-occasion-marked announcements throughout the evening. Drama did get some acknowledgement of the New Year into this 9.20pm junction however.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The Discovery-owned channels long since eschewed proper continuity in favour of prerecorded adverts over every ident for their Discovery+ streaming service. Although for New Year 2021 a few junctions with New Year acknowledgements had slipped through, for the 2021 to 2022 changeover this had been trimmed back even further. Every channel ran with the same Discovery+ adverts as feature any other day until midnight when even that much was dropped and idents would just play out without speech. An example of a typical New Year's Eve junction from DMAX just for completeness sake, though this style was identical across Quest, Quest Red, Really, Food Network, HGTV and DMAX so you could have picked any. A sad fall from grace from only a few years ago where Quest Red were leaders with their New Year presentation.

Having been one of the smaller channels to punch above their weight with continuity effort for the 2020 to 2021 crossover, for New Year 2022 Forces TV went even further with the amount of tailored junctions recorded. The 9.50pm junction on New Year's Eve for the channel (with the channel running a lot of odd timings this time round).

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The 10.25pm junction on Forces TV continued the build up to midnight by jumping 50 years back in time.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The last junction of 2021 for Forces TV aired at 11.25pm into a show which would cross midnight, with continuity inviting everyone to raise their glasses.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Forces TV aired their first 2022 junction at 12.25am on January 1st, wishing everyone a happy, healthy and positive new year.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Forces TV kept their New Year wishes going even longer to welcome in 2022 than they had the previous year, with the announcement into the 1.25am junction also making a Happy New Year message with a change of announcer. There's a slight error that she says allow her to be the first to wish you a Happy New Year despite actually being the second one by now, but after having put this much effort into recording these all in the first place we can overlook that one. Discovery Networks could certainly learn a thing or two here!

The final Top of the Hour sequence for BBC News in 2021, aired at 11pm following an extended playout of the countdown sequence. Going off the introduction, the news at this point looks to have been a simulcast between both the domestic and BBC World News channels.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

At 11.30, BBC News saw out most of the last half hour of the year with their 'Review' programme remembering people who had been lost in 2021.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

For the actual crossover from 2021 to 2022, the BBC News Channel largely linked up with the fireworks coverage from BBC One as usual. However ever the fun of live TV late at night, it wasn't the smoothest operation. After a short live shot of the London skyline with the usual countdown overlaid the news started off just with quite a few awkward pauses and some initial audio issues at the switchover point. For the purposes of the site, we've cut away at the start of the fireworks sequence on this clip before rejoining it at the very end.

As had been the case the previous year too, at 11.30pm BBC Scotland joined up with BBC One Scotland to air their main Hogmanay show to see in the New Year. For this junction on the BBC Scotland channel, they went with the fireworks ident.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With the conclusion of the Hogmanay show on both Scottish channels, the first announcement for 2022 on BBC Scotland was an extended one over the Saltire Powder ident to close down the channel for the night.

With Hogmanay being such a big occasion for Scotland, BBC Alba certainly weren't going to miss out on having their own party too.

Non-festive presentation also made a return from this point.

As per tradition, BBC One Scotland had the most diverged schedule from the other BBC One nations for New Year's Eve, due to the greater prominence of Hogmanay celebrations in Scotland.

As is the case for every New Year, with BBC One Scotland having such a diverged schedule the local team has to run continuity for the rest of the night.

For Hogmanay in Scotland, BBC Scotland put together a selection of short stings featuring the cast of their spoof mockumentary series Scot Squad wishing everyone a Happy Hogmanay, while also promoting a special of the show that would air on BBC One Scotland that evening.
