Oooh just noticed Joanne Writtle on Midland's Today - yet another jump over from ITV Central!


What was she doing- reporting??

Noticed in the last few weeks that long standing Central East sports presenter Dennis Coath has jumped from Central East to West. At West though he seems to have taken over as the 'lighter news' reporter from Jonathan Ray.

Arti Hali needs to leave broadcasting asap - she's a load of wooden rubbish and her accent really grates on me

Apparently according to ITV Central the whole of Central is getting a relaunch when the new Central News studios open.

There will be new regional idents with "ITV1 Central" instead of the "ITV1 for Central England" legend and the signage at Central Court will be all ITV Central instead of Carlton.

The new Central News sets will be "exciting" said one of the girls at Central News!

Joanne Mailin is the worst newsreader - period.
She has the most irritating accent, wears horrific clothes, and is always interrupting the programme with pointless small talk. For example: "Yeah, my gran used to live in one of them houses - back in the old days".
She should be kicked out as soon as possible.

well she has got to be much better than anybody at Central News South! Nobody can be more worse than the terrible Wesley Smith.

On the subject of rubbish at Central News West, Dan Barton (editor) should also go. He has basically transformed Central News West into tabloid rubbish.
I say return John Bolieau!
