I quite liked that 2004-06 look in all honesty -particularly the closing theme to the bulletins shown below:
Certainly preferred it to the 'virtual newsroom' era 2006-08 which I never liked and looked very obviously make. Doesn't help that the 2006-08 era was when ITV was very sensationalist in tone ('Bye Bye Beckham'/'Timetable to Terror').
But then my views are quite different to some on the ITV News presentation. After they got rid of the iconic mid 90s themes, my favourite versions of the ITV News theme is probably the version they used until 2004 which I always found very authoritative and I did like the Andrew Burt voiceover:
And I quite liked the 'batcave' era of ITV News especially the 'images of the day' in the title sequence and the news theme they used around then - especially the extended closing music they used for News at 10 back then.
I've a sucker for a good dramatic news theme.
