He also did a report on Londoners caught up in the Tsunami for last night's London Tonight.
Its a good example of the cost savings that can be made by the regions and ITN working under the umbrella of the ITV news division.

Two reasons. Firstly the "urgh sky = mrudoch, do excuse me, I need to **** over the N24 countdown" crew will come out with any old 5hite.
Secondly, and more importantly I think there is a "new boy" fear of Sky News making something for "real TV" which had always had a BBC/ITN duopoly (is that a word, it is now) and there is a lot of feeling towards the old ITN that produced the proper news for ITV.
However it must be remembered (and this is aimed at the defenders of ITN) that this is the company that is now dominated by ITV PLC, pours most of it's resources into it and making (90% of the time) not very good news for it. As the Guardian article that was linked to earlier said, five was denied access to resources before ITV had used them and were always given the hand-me-down equipment.
ITN is, most of the time, ITV's News Division. Yes it's been excellent these last few days but think about the bilge that normally goes out on the ITVNC like the appaulingly tacky "we were first with blunckett's resignation" trailer. They're not who they were when they launched five news 7 years ago.
What is wrong with ITN being a news division of ITV, that's what the organisation was designed to be- it was owned by ITV companies up until 1993! Being a news division of ITV secures its future and means that we have three tv news organisations in this country.
Obviously most of its efforts go into ITV, ITV puts the most money into it!
As for it providing crap news for 90% of the time that is your opinion, in my opinion ITV have provided the best coverage over the past year of boscastle, beslan, scottish factory blast, scottish landslides, i could go on.
Back to Five i think people need to start seperating it from Sky News in much the same way that ITV, C4 and the old Five were considered seperate. And i dont think anyone thinks that Sky=Fox, anyone that watches Sky can see they are very balanced and honest and provide excellent news!

Tonight's show is a bit better than yesterday's. I'm wamring to the set itself but the music still sounds like it's only been played half way through and that shot of Kirtsy is horrible. It's really really nasty.
Also I'm not keen on her little PC. I presume it's a tablet PC but it's a very chunky one, not as sleek as it could be and it just looks messy on her lap.

How Come the poll doesn't include ITV1 after all it does include BBC1? Personally i have found the best source for info on this is the bulletins as there are just too many developments to keep up with on the news channels. Watching the specials, and the bulletins has giving be a much better overview than the news channels have.

With all the discussion about ratings and who has sent whom, and who hasn't, it's worth taking a look at our own poll on the forum. It seems the BBC and Sky have been pretty level pegging since I set it up, nd regarless of whether many of us agree that the stuff put together by ITV News has been outstanding, not many of US actually turned to them for coverage.

The news content was good though! but i thought overall it was very average and had nothing that really set it appart from anything else.
Worst shot IMO was what potentially could have been the best one. the over the shoulder shot. ruined by the stair case covering the logo.
Liked the Glass, thought it worked well.
Music - nothing special
Graphics - OK, but i really dislike purple and it was used very heavily.
Close -Up on Kirsty was a bit too tight for me.
Studio- much smaller than i thought it was going to be.
NEWS -Good Quality but overall very average

Couldn't Agree more. That was the saddest thing i have watched in a while but ITV's coverage was superb. As good as it gets.

No... because the Fox News logo is BLUE and says ''FOX NEWS'' in the far distance of the shot, whereas the Five logo is silver, says 'five' and is directly behind the presenter...
OBVIOUSLY
i thought you were saying that their use of block letters was original as opposed to plasma's! i was just saying that FOX use that same style of block letters ( all be it in a different shot)

What do you want them to write... 'Twelve'?
What would be less ''obvious'' than writing the name of the channel on the side of the wall? A picture of Stalin, perhaps? Or maybe a dartboard?
As far as I know, none of the other networks plaster their logos around the place in the same way. I'd say putting a plasma screen behind her would have been the ''obvious'' choice, rather than the five logo.
