How BBC and Sky News graphics have evolved (also ITN now)

Who is the male presenter on the row of Sky News caps above the new graphics?

i miss the BIG numbers on the old N24 countdown,

let's face it, the whole sequence is about the numbers!

Phil Lavelle, overnight-ter.

Most generous of you Martin... fabulous stuff. Well done!

I thought so, he reports on BBC London News a lot - I have thought for a while he would make a good presenter, since they are lacking male presenters with only Asad and Mike

Well, my favourite set is still the ITN news channel - it is so modern, yet it went onscreen more than 10years ago.

ITV really should have stayed with something like that...

ITN NC launched in August 2000, so just under eight years, in fact.

The studio was used by ITV news well before ITN NC launched, all be it with a different desk, and less frosted glass...

You know what, Martin, if you hadn't pointed that out I would never have had a clue!

I still think that was ITN's best News Studio. Not too distractive and always had a fresh feel.

I also liked the subtle way the feel changed through the day with the colour bar, and obviously the background behind the presenters.

Am I right in thinking that Setanta Sports, now use this studio space at Grey's Inn Road?
