With the tuition fees vote, once again the News Channel is let down by the simulcast bulletins getting in the way of rolling coverage of a big story.
They really do need to have the capacity to do their own thing whenever there's a story like this at the same time as an ITV1 bulletin, as the NC ends up looking very third-rate.

Slightly inaccurate as well, considering he hasn't done that slot for a while now.
However I like the way ITV are pushing the channel as a place with faces 'you know and trust'. And RE the Mark and Mary promo, I think the intention (as we've seen, of course) is to have one of them with AN Other NC presenter rather than the two of them together, but who knows.

That sounds more like it. So, if everyone that features on the promos also have their own version, there should also be another 3 unseen versions:-
Andrew Harvey and Lucy Alexander - Weekdays from 7am-10am
Felicity Barr and Steve Scott - Weekdays from 4pm-5.30pm
Leyla Daybelge - Weekdays from 1pm-4pm
-----
The only low point of the schedule is now evenings, so my idea would be by introducing just one extra presenter per day, they could have the schedule like this
19.00 Joyce Ohajah and Owen Thomas
20.00 Felicity Barr and Steve Scott
21.00 Owen Thomas
22.30 ITV Late News
23.00 Joyce Ohajah
00.00 Owen Thomas (live until 1am)
This would also mean Felicity and Steve would work together twice, and Steve's long shift would end 90 minutes earlier than it does now

I must say, watched Live with Alastair Stewart today, and was wholeheartedly impessed with the whole segment, he is an awesome anchor, and they broke the news of the Immigration Minister's resignation about a full 4/5 minutes before Sky, and about 8 before the BBC.
They knocked spots off the opposition today. Sky got Adam Boulton on reasonably quickly but simply looped the same VT about 20 times, ITV had numerous interviews, and Alastair explained it in a way even I understand!
Very very well done.

Indeed, this is one time I can praise ITV News. Nick Robinson on the ITV News Channel broke the story first, citing government sources, and the other channels followed minutes later, although one let down was that all they had for the first 20 minutes or so was Nick Robinson on the phone, whereas Sky and News 24 had correspondents in-vision at Millbank. Alastair Stewart was brilliant, you do wonder why he doesn't have a more prominent role in ITV News.
I did have to laugh at the amount of times all the channels looped library footage - News 24 constantly looped without interruption footage of the ex-Immigration Minister entering the BBC newsroom and studios at Millbank.

I do dislike the inconsistent way this graphic is used.
It's often used with a picture of the subject of the story, rather than the reporter/interviewee.
For example, they just used it with a picture of Prince William, captioned:
Penny Junor
Royal biographer
They ought to have a different graphic to use when they have no picture of the person speaking
