ITV News

A similar thing happened on HTV Wales tonight!

At 18:50 (or whenever it is) within the ITV Evening News recap Lucy Cohen appeared and started the regional recap before those 'squares' appeared floating around the world - quite similar to the opening titles of the ITV Evening News and stayed for about 20 seconds!

Did this only affect the HTV Wales region?

Nice problems tonight on the NC. They went to Central News at 9.15 (awful CSO background) and went to a report which had subtitles obscured by the ticker and without sound. The live newsreader could be heard, just not the report, so they left it. Surely the ticker can appear and disappear easily? Looks a mess otherwise.

Problems again at 9.30 with a roundup of national heads without video and a delayed "here's Frasier's report...." a couple of times before it appeared.

Just caught the ITV News promo. Nice with all the old clips but I still prefer the relaunch one

So did US Election Weekly happen at 8.30 or 9.30 this week?

Helen Callaghan has been in Cheltenham today, reporting on Gold Cup Day - I think we can safely assume that she's not necessarily Wales Correspondent!

Well Geraint Vincent was reporting from Cardiff on Budget morning

Perhaps Helen Callaghan is technically Wales and West correspondent as Geraint used to be.

I see that London Tonight's Damon Green is doing some reporting for the News Channel.

I thought he had been since last year. I suppose it makes sense considering he's working for ITN in both cases nowadays.

Andrew Harvey and Shiulie Ghosh on Breakfast this morning

John Nicolson in for Alastair Stewart again from 10

Someones got to ask so, any news on the schedule for the weekend?

Katie Derham is presenting the Lunchtime News today - her first programme on the new set.

Apparently it's Nick Clarke and Heather McCarthy at 1pm

Quite surprising (although we know she's still part of the team). I wonder if she'll do London Tonight as well.

And yes, anybody have the weekend schedule?
