a bit off topic but, do ITN and local crews share OB trucks on location? as i went past lloyd house yesterday, and saw only 2 trucks - when less than 1/2 hour earlier i had seen live PTC from the location on central news - then ITN and the BBC. does that mean central and ITN hire a sat truck (central news' own truck was up in shropshire yesterday) from SIS and split the cost?
Yes they do! Mostly its local stations using the ITN truck but increasingly if the local stations have their own sat truck somewhere, the reporters will also be asked to do lives for the ITV News Channel.
Local ITV newsreaders vs ITV News newsreaders
