I was also wondering if anybody knew if any of the itv regions are planning a new-look in January at all.

Granada Reports looks like it needs a change AGAIN.

I think it needs a larger Set, for when the presenters stand up.

GMTV is normal tommorow so yes, and there will be a bulletin at 12.45pm as well

Thanks for that, I know the Lunchtime News is only brief tomorrow and GMTV sometimes changes at this time of the year, I wondered if there was just an evening regional update.

Is that not benjaminfliftshaft.com if I'm not mistaken?

I doubt Granada will get a new look as the set is only over a year old, if you ask me the old set they had would have worked better with blue ITV news style backdrop.

So bulletins more or less as normal tommorow then, apart from the 10.55am bulletin which hasnt been on all week and the mid afternoon bulletin.

I know there are no regional bulletins on Christmas Day/Boxing Day but is there a late bulletin on Christmas Eve? I guess Monday/Tuesday will have normal Bank Holiday bulletins and the GMTV bulletins will return on Wednesday?

Of course if you get a new look, it will be ITVplc corporate stylee, as per London Tonight, Central West, Meridian etc.

Have to say Ben, your website is due an update isn't it ? Can't believe nothing has gone on in the world of Politics and ITV1 since Nov 16th. I may have to start looking elsewhere for fulfillment of all my Politics and ITV1 needs.

Christmas Eve goes like this:

5:30am ITV Morning News
6:00am to 9:25am GMTV
12:35pm to 12:50pm - ITV Lunchtime News, including Regional News
6:30pm to 6:45pm - Regional News Programme
6:45pm to 7:00pm - ITV Evening News
11:00pm to 11:15pm - ITV Late News

So basically, all the bulletins are just shortened versions of the half hour ones. Except the Morning News of course...

Christmas Day goes like this:

5:55am - ITV News Summary
6:00am to 7:00am - GMTV
12:45pm to 12:55pm - ITV News
6:40pm to 6:55pm - ITV Evening News
10:25pm to 10:30pm - ITV News Summary

There are no regional news updates on Christmas Day.

Boxing Day goes as follows:

5:55pm - ITV News Summary
1:25pm to 1:40pm - ITV News
6:15pm to 6:30pm - ITV Evening News
11:00pm to 11:15pm - ITV News

Also, all next week up to New Year's Day has shorter bulletins, or so I believe.

It is good to see Granada are using the Main Studio ratrher than the CSO.

Normally they just use the CSO, even on Bank Holidays.

Whats the CSO? On ITV Wales News they have used the smaller studio (the one they use for GMTV and weekend bulletins) rather than the main studio, these past 2 days. I think GMTV bulletins are back tommorow arent they?

I have also frequently wondered the same thing. What does CSO mean? Also, who are the main anchors on Granada Reports?

It's almost 20years since I have seen that particular programme. As a young Scotsman, I only used to ever see it when I was down in Blackpool for the school holiday period in October.

Takes me back.................
