Who is Lynda Bryans?? Is she new?

She's from UTV Live. She has occasionally presented on the News Channel in the past.


Thank you.

I think that if Mary Nightingale is off for an entire week Katie Derham should present the Evening News and somebody else should do London Tonight. (Joyce Ohajah, Carrie Frais, Anna Maria Ashe !!!, etc)

The News at Ten Thirty should be like this:

2230 Top Story with analysis
2236 Main News
2244 Coming Up + Special Report
2246 Other News
2248 Sport Report
2251 Local News + Weather
2257 Headlines, Markets and Newspapers
2259 Weather

Also do you think Chris Rogers and Leyla Daybelge should become regular pairings?


Personally I think it should be half an hour, then followed by regional news.

2230-2231 - Intro
2231-2240 - Main story + analysis
2240-2253 - Other main stories including a special report.
2253-2255 - Sport headlines
2255-2256 - Weather (In the studio)
2256-2257 - Business news (Including markets etc.)
2257-2259 - Newspaper review
2259-2300 - End
2300-2305 - Regional update followed by regional weather.

How come Joyce has got all these weekend bulletins all of a sudden?? She disappear (didn't see from the NC before the relaunch??) and now has all these bulletins. What about Shiulie Ghosh and Lauren Taylor??

I think Joyce is an ok newsreader, I don't regard Lauren Taylor as newsreader material, shes more suited to reporting

At the top of the hour Nick Clark and Lynda Bryans were presenting, but then I look up at the screen at about quarter past, and Nick Clark has turned into Sasha Herriman Shocked

Bet the operation was painful Laughing

Interesting to note that Lynda's from UTV, who are not known for their 'support' of the ITV brand, or is it because she's freelance?

UTV seem to be co-operating with the ITV News Channel now - UTV Live has started taking part in the NC's UK Today feature on a fairly regular basis.

In fact I think the only region not to be seen on the NC is Channel.

Chris Rogers has just done a live with Nick Clark from the finish of the Marathon

About bloody time, seems odd having Snow Reports in the middle of April.

Though I don't think that holiday company who sponsor it won't have sold many holidays, as the bulletin was biased towards that, as it always snow in the other countries.

"And let's have a look at how many stairlifts will be open..."

I like the sponsorship sting to it.

I think those stings will stay as that company will also sponsor the holiday report, speaking of which does any1 know which areas they will cover on the holiday sun report
