Are they daft? It's the regions that should've been changed. For example, itv.com/weather/anglia

News and Weather aren't the same department, so the weather really doesn't belong at itv.com/news

Are you sure about that? I thought ITV Weather is done by ITN.
No, isn't it the Met Office?

The data is supplied by the Met Office, like with the BBC. However, ITN do the bulletins, much like they do with Channel 4. I am happy to be proven wrong, but I am sure that's how it works.


Is it not presented from the millbank studios? I remember once becky mantin was joined live on the evening news from westminster at around 6:45 in the program. It cant have taken her 10 minutes to get to ITN

The weather is recorded at Milbank, who actually is behind it I'm not too sure.

At some point before being based at Millbank, and after they left The London Studios, they were at Gray's Inn Road: http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/1002

EDIT: Having just tweeted Lucy Verasamy, ITV themselves make the bulletins, so I presume that ITV are happy to combine the two sites, seeing as ITN is 40% owned by ITV.

Welcomed but interesting implementation of ITV News and Sport feeds on the homepage. I feel that they would be more beneficial if they were further up the page as at the moment I feel that the reality of a user scrolling as far as the elements is be minimal.

Agreed, but the News bit isn't currently working for me:

Interesting to find out some statistics of traffic to the site over the last couple of days. I have to say the live stream has been the best way by far to follow the story. Really outstripping it's rival websites in how quick updates are published to visitors and content.

I don't see the point in closing ITV Weather when Daybreak Weather Site uses the same system
