Jez - its looking more likely that your favourite Richard Morgan will present the last ever HTV News bulletin tomorrow!

Shame Lucy or Jon couldnt present it though Sad

I wonder if we will get a sneak preview of the new look - like HTV did last time when they relaunched many many years ago?

Richard Morgan mentioned the new look today and did indeed say he'd be back with bulletins tommorow. I agree it would have been nice for Jon or Lucy to have presented the FINAL HTV NEWS bulletin, or maybe Sally who is the longest serving of all the newsreaders, however thats unlikely, in recent years she has only worked 2 days a week and never on weekends. Richard Morgan is actually the newest of the HTV Newsreader team.

Btw Richard isnt my fave, I like Lucy, Justina, Jon, Sally, Juliet, Tara all before him Wink Oh and Catharine, how could I leave her out. But after Jon he is my fave out of the male presenters and he is better looking than Richard too just incase you were wondering.

What I want to know is who is going to be the first person to read the new look ITV WALES NEWS, will it be Andrew Jones as normal on Monday morning Rolling Eyes or will it be Justina Simpson Laughing

ITV WALES NEWS with Jonathan Hill, Lucy Cohen and Tara Branfield

NEW TITLES, NEW STUDIO, NEW LOOK, STARTS MONDAY



Did you notice that Juliette Piper AND Andrew Jones both reported on stories today on HTV News?

It's bound to be an Andrew Jones day on Monday!

Is Andrew behind Jon and Richard in your poll Jez?

Yes , you and TVD have certainly changed your mind about our favourite brooch wearer since your first posts on the subject. But , let's bygones be bygones ; neither of you , I dare say , is at all qualified to enter the Carmarthen all-comers three legged race. Very Happy Very Happy

Even if he does come back, I think he'll find his profile deleted, much in the same way as he was physically deleted that day in Peterborough.

While not-normal has therefore ruled himself out of that, it's not something I'd be qualified for on the grounds of family involvement. That is to say, there isn't enough of it in my ancestry to allow me to enter competitions celebrating the bad place.

And yes indeed, tomorrow is when the last HTV news [and weather, of course] falls -- but as I've said before, unless it's Peanut reading the news in an HTV waterfall spectacular, I'm going to complain.

Probably will kick off on Monday morning -- it's going to be the same, but just now with a rubbish name.

I've just had a break in Cardigan for a few days. Not sure what NotNormal is upto mind.

PS is all this hysteria about the news relaunch on Monday going to lead to disappointment all around? I hope not!

PPS I wonder why ITV2 dont start showning Shortland Street each dinnertime?

On the last day for HTV, well I *had* to post Nicola from Human Traffic earlier. Probably the best cameo, ever, officially.

Although how rude! I had to look up those words in the dictionary, I didn't understand them.
