ITV News

Looks like ITV are making a big thing about sundays evening and late news. Tonight it was Julie, few weeks ago it was Katie and also Al.

I also like the way Julie signed off tonight "from the team in london, good bye for now" first time ive heard them say london!

The Hour

I think they should have some of STV's old ledgends host the show with stephen. Bring back Shereen Nanjiani, Sarah Heaney, Viv Lumsden and Kirsty Young!

I thought Rachel was great on the five thirty show. It's a shame she has left STV.

CNN International & Domestic

Is it just me or does anyone else think that CNN are down grading or possibly going to close London?

They have stopped CNN Today, World News Europe and Business International and trasnfered it all to Atlanta. Hong Kong gets more airtime at present than London.

Sky News

Is it just me or is Sky News getting boring again!

It seem to get a new lease of life when it got the new look/studio but has became flat and boring again!

Presenters seem to pop up anywhere, Anna Jones a respected News Anchor, reduced to a business prsenter but not good enough to fill in for Jeff Randel??? Steve Dixon is more often on Sky News Today on a Friday than his own titled broadcast on a Friday evening.

Anna Botting has also spent more time on other broadcasts than her own! Why title the broadcast with the presenters name and have someone else presenting it 70% of the time? I don't understand.

STV News

On a different note, I think that the new look "STV News" does look great! I am glad they kept the music as I think it works well and its prob the only thing that's left from the old cowcaddens and Shereen Nanjiani days.

STV News looks, feels and has better material than any other Regional News output wheather it be a ITV Region or BBC Region.

IMO BBC Scotland is so false and dumb its unreal. The presenters except for Sally Magnuson are fake and the Reporters are weird.

I am sad that the "Im John MacKay and this is Scotland Today" has gone but I think the whole broadcast is great, fresh and a good mix.

I said ITV 1 as more people know what that is, where as only scottish people really know what STV is.

Yes folks it's that time of year once again. Dancing On Ice time!

Only the Dancing On Ice people have forgotten us people up in scotland once again.

Like last year they have failed to arrange any scottisj tour dates. Lets try and change that. I have started a online petition to show the ITV people that we like the show too!

Sky News

Is it just me or does Steve Dixon look very pale and gaunt!

He looks as if hes lost a hell of a lot of weight, when he wasn't fat or overweight to start with!
