Well the 10th December 2008 happens to be a Wednesday. Will ITV2 be doing anything special, e.g. using the original set of idents that day? I suppose I'd better set my video to record every single ITV2 programme junction that day.
Er... is that a joke? Confused

Perhaps that Year in 60 Seconds promo will become 10 Years in 60 seconds on its birthday.

These are the ITV2 idents I meant, the ones they were using at the start back in December 1998.


shut up.

CNN International & Domestic

Yes I can agree with Robin Oakley, but that's hardly surprising he's also ex-BBC. CNN is mostly balls though, certainly not a serious new organization. Ginny mo another insufferable reporter, and again covers a non newsworthy item. The segments are of only interest when they carry reports from ITN or in the unlikely event when they send one of there few decent reporters for coverage. Dreadful stuff overall.

Another question - SKY is having very often a new on-air-look - are there any plans to get a new look in the near future? Do you know more?
I hate the current look!


How unfortunate for you, it must be very troubling. I'm sure they'll change the look at some point in the future, you'll just have to cope for now.

Yes, she is different in a good way. It was the same with Adrian, when he came to CNN he showed that besides beeing a great anchor he also has a great personality.
I have a feeling anchors feel more relaxed on CNN, although BBC is going in that direction lately with 2 anchors, but it looks more natural on CNN.


CNN is awful. Its anchors are cringing, including all the relief Atlanta presenters, the lady with the sock in her mouth, and wll someone calm Becky Anderson down.. far too enthusistsic, your just reading the news lady. Its reporters are awul, probably with the exception of Amanpour, otherwise their cringing. There reporting/reports are bad, unless they are taken from ITN/ITV/Channel 4 UK. Breaks every few minutes are irritating, the graphics package is better than the BBC , but its let down by there awful sets. My goodness ITV (!!) News editions are more insightful and international than an hour of CNN Shocked

Before she joined BBC News.


A most excellent observation.
