It will be interesting to see who does it tomorrow if Kylie Pentelow hasn’t recovered from laryngitis

Kylie obviously recovered in time as she's just read the Early Evening News without any signs of illness.

Sangeeta Kandola on the lunchtime news today.

First time I've heard her name on the V/O.

It’s nice to have the voiceover- I suspect Fay Barker, Duncan Golestani and Lewis Vaughan Jones all have one as well

Lucy Watson at the desk this lunchtime.

First time she's read a national bulletin, if not for a long time.

Does anybody know if we can expect any changes on January 6th? Not trying to start any rumours, just asking.

I have heard no word on any changes to the current ITV News look.


If there were to be a big change in the look of the current ITV News, I would suspect we would see them moving to a temporary studio if there were to be big changes in set design, unlikely since ITV News nearly always used a complete green screen backdrop, however that would be the first indicator that a change is on the way.

Other than that, no there are no word at all on changes on ITV News presentation in January 2020.

Amazing it'll be 7 years since the rebrand in January, by far the longest look of the ITV News era and possibly challenging the ITN era too. The thing is now it doesn't feel like it - it's probably good for another couple of years. Of course too it helps the competition isn't changing their look too so compared to their rivals it's not looking dated at all - even C5 don't revamp every other year anymore.
chevron and DeMarkay gave kudos

I'm trying to think what was the longest-lived ITN branding pre-2013? It's quite hard to decide because although, for example, the original version of "Best Endeavours" (Ch4 News theme music) lasted from 1983 until 1995, the visuals updated quite frequently throughout that time. Similarly with News at Ten before 1992 and News at One in the 70s/80s. My guess would be the News at 545. I don't think there were any significant changes to any of the the branding elements between 1976 and 1988. So, that would possibly put the record at 12 years?

Yes, I was thinking the 5.45/5.40 News but not quite sure. News at Ten lasted 7 years in the 90s too.

2006- the yellow look looked long

That look began in 2009 - November I think so actually only lasted just over 3 years. Prior to that although the main relaunches were in 1999 and 2004 there were updated to the look every couple of years.
