It’s been so long since someone posted about 5 News (i think the recent comments were on one of the Covid threads).

Interesting to read about Sian’s “other life”. I wonder how much longer she will stay on 5 News/TV in general.

I wouldn't be surprised if she quits 5 News but continues her other TV work with Secrets of Your Supermarket Food.

Some doctors never seem to be off TV.

Who does the 6.30pm bulletin now - didn't Matt Barbett quit again?

Quick question, would those who work for ITV/Channel 4 and Channel 5 be classed as colleagues seeing as they work for ITN?

Yes. They would

I think these days it's quite common to refer to anybody in the same industry as a colleague, especially where any rivalry is friendly (or it's a small industry where everybody knows everyone regardless of who they are employed by).

In broadcast news terms I've heard BBC presenters say things like "in an interview with our colleagues at Sky News" when introducing an excerpt from somebody else's exclusive.

I daresay in the good old days ITN would have used "these pictures from our colleagues at Scottish Television" or similar.

It was certainly used as credit when ITN used Border copy at the Lockerbie plane crash.

The opposite of that was when John Prescott threw his famous punch on the election trail in 2001. Can’t remember which ITV region it was without googling it, but they had the only footage of the scuffle and sold it to Sky News, meaning ITV didn’t have it for that night’s News at Ten/When

It was in Rhyl, so could have been HTV Wales or Granada. More likely to be the latter as Granada were interested in serving the North Wales Coast in those days.

Edit, this clip on YouTube is credited to ITV Wales.

It was HTV. I seem to recall at the time Granada was a shareholder in ITN, whereas the owner of HTV wasn't.

Ironically, following Sky broadcasting it, Prescott refused to speak to them the rest of his time as an MP.
