Daybreak: With Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones

Lucy Watson is listed on the new daybreak website in the more presenters section as Daybreak's newsreader. I thought people on here said she gone to New York? Is she possibly covering for Ranvir for the first week hasn't she just had a baby?


A cursory glance at her twitter feed is enough to tell you no. She got married yesterday and will be back on screen in the second week of September, from New York.


Fair Enough! And it's not exactly the done thing stalk someone's twitter to see if they've mentioned anything. I didn't even know she was on twitter!! Wish people wouldn't get so uptight about little unimportant things!

ITV London Tonight

Do all three Daybreak updates come from the ITV News studio or just the 6.07?

Daybreak: With Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones

Seems odd that there's no sight of Kate Garraway anywhere in that 'Promo' will she even be a part of the new show? If I were her I'd give it ul to be honest ITV obviously don't want her having a too big role on breakfast tv. She can't even be chose as the Presneter on the GMTV copycat show, I hope she leaves and moves on to other things. I like Kate though and I wish her well.


As noted already in one of these Daybreak threads, Kate will deputise Lorraine, presumably presenting Friday's and school holidays.

Gethin Jones is the stand-in for Aled supposedly. The above Vimeo snippet implies he, Richard Arnold etc will become faces of Daybreak.

No indication on newsreader(s)/weather forecaster though.


But has this been Confimed? Or just TVF speculation?

Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Has Pip Tomson done any reporting yet? I think I've only seen her news presenting at weekends.

The Weather Thread

Soooo... having just seen Lucy Verasamy do the national forecast on ITV1 this lunchtime, it struck me just how much difference there is in the presentation of ITV's forecasts depending on who is on duty. I'm guessing the presenter also does the graphics and whatnot for their forecast, because each seems to have their own style.

Lucy's forecast only used the 'wide' UK map that fills the whole screen. The blue bar at the top extended all the way across.

Sian Lloyd tends to just use the thinner map, and the blue bar only goes part of the way across. Martyn Davies tended to do this too.

Alex Beresford tends to use a mix of both.

It's interesting that such flexibility is allowed - the level of detail in Lucy's forecast was way more than in any of the others', and better for it. There was a definite Sky News influence.


Sian Lloyd is often very detailed, usually the post ITV News at 6:30 forecast when theres more time though - by far the best presenter atm.

Any ideas if ITV Weather relaunches in Jan 2013?

ITV London Tonight

On screen tonight all was presented by freelancers. Matt Teale presenting, Tamsin Roberts and Louise Hulland reporting with Clare Nasir with the weather.


Well yes. But Clare is a regular, and regularly presents the weekend London weather- so that's not really notable. Matt Teale is kind of familiar to London viewers. Don't know the reporters so I get your point there. Matt always the relief for the weekends, who's supposed to be on today?


It can be either Clare or Manali Lukha with the weather at weekends. and Teale was supposed to be on yesterday.

The North East and Cumbria (and Southern Scotland) Thread

Ross Hutchinson was decent, sounds like another (al la Philippa) who is 'news presenter' who's done the weather training at Anglia. He has on twitter 'ITV North' weather presenter, so I presume he will do YTV cover.

Been back in the Borders over the summer and seeing a bit of Lookaround again, weird seeing 1 or 2 ex-reporters back from pre-merger days like Andy Burn!! the Last 15 mins have seemed to drop in quality of late.


Ross did both news and weather at Anglia but before joining Tyne Tees/Border he did some further weather training.

Andy Burn seems a regular reporter nowadays, although he is probably cover/freelance.

Edit: Any ideas why they are unable to do split Daybreak updates/lunchtime bulletin? Is West/Westcountry an exception because of a negative response?
