STV News

Laura and Gordon Chree on the sport tonight.


weird choice for sport! I know Keith is on holiday but you would have thought they would have used Joanne Bonner instead of Gordon.

STV News

John usually takes two weeks off around this time of year.

Anyone know when and who will be covering?

If STV management are reading no to Rona!


Think it will be from this coming Monday, two weeks off during the Glasgow Fair usually.


It's Laura M who's coming up this evening on the STV News at Six. Who is she? Is she as legendary as MacKay?


Laura Miller, she's usually found doing the late bulletin these days during Scotland Tonight or the lunchtime bulletin.


Excellent Choice, New Hair Do and all!

And doing a great job!

Laura IMO is a rising star at STV and will prob end up like Orla Chennaoui, Nick Dixon, Nicol Nicolson and Mark White and head to London for likes of Sky, CNN or ITV.

NBC News, MSNBC, ABC News and others from across the pond

I am in the states just now and I have to say that Today is dire!

I even find myself turning over to GMA and I have been coming to states for years and am a avid Today follower, Not this time!

ITV News

I think Itv News set and look needs a major rebrand! Virtual is over with!

Itv need to go back to a normal studio or newsroom look IMO.

The virtual look is getting tired and boring as far as Itv is concerned.

ITV News: Rotas & Presenters

Unless you were to remove Alatsair from the LN or put London Tonight back to a double headed bulletin then really it would be hard to think of a suitable position for both.


Stick Nina on London Tonight and Natasha on 1.30pm bulletin. Natasha leaves LT altogether, Nina covers for Natasha when Natasha is doing News at 10 so shes still on the nationals. Leave weekends as they are. Problem solved. There is space for them both and if Nina was ever going to get a prominent position she would have got one by now. Natasha appears quite a lot and has settled in nicely. When I first heard she was joining I thought it was a silly move but I now prefer her to Mary and Julie.


I was exactly the same, I thought it was going to be all razzle dazzle since she is classed as a 'Celebrity' but now I think she has settled into ITV News very well. My only gripe is, if she is this good on ITV News now, why wasn't she brought in ages ago?


I disagree guys! Nina is a prominent figure at ITV, if she wasn't they would not have kept her around when Katie Derham was still there. Plus like Mary, Mark and Al I see Nina as Itv News. Julie is getting there!

If Natasha is going to stay, she should get Nina's old job when Katie was there. Friday on LT and Saturday National with fill in as and when required.

Why aren't STV using the likes of Rachel McTavish or Louise White as freelance cover?

Rona is pathetic IMO


Louise hasn't worked at STV for a year now, and Rona is a main presenter at the station, with Scotland Tonight. I do agree with you though, she is a bit rubbish - but getting better... slowly .


I know Louise left but was meaning she should do freelance work covering.

Five News from ITN

Simon Vigar on the lunchtime update today. He'd make a good presenter one day if he ever tires of reporting.


Didn't he present updates during the previous ITN era?


Yes he did! He used to do updates, weekends and stand in on Lunchtime when Rob or Charlie wasn't available.

STV News

Another cringe worthy West News at 6 tonight!

Doesn't make sense, far better presenters available and loosing Louise White for the likes of Rona is a bad move.

I thought things where getting better with the use of Rachel covering John, now we bearly see her! Now Gordon, he makes Jackie Bird look good!
