interesting stuff on Greports tonight. We had Louisa Preston, formally presenter of Five News reporting. Also I spotted Robin Powell,of Central News doing a report on the programme. Looks like Granada have changed more than their set just recently.

Louisa Preston is getting around a bit lateley, presenting the itv News Channel a couple of weeks ago, the main edition of BBC LONDON on Friday and now Granada news. I know she is freelance, but she is getting around alot more than other freelance reporters/ presenters, excluding perhaps Helen Fospero.

I didn't see the Evening News because I went to a Meeting, last night. Was Robin Powell's Report also on the Evening News.?.

There have been several new editions to the Granada Reports Team, Rob Smith (I believe he does things for itv News too), Paul Cochrane seems to be an on-screen reporter and now there appears to be these new editions too, it was like watching a different programme for a few minutes last night.

The only problem with her is she kept looking at the scripts every 3 or 4 seconds.

Probably because the autocue wasn't working then.

What the hells going on with that plasama! Looks like its been cropped and put on Panorma mode! They should display the LT plasma video for one like Central News. The ITV Regional news titles dont look that good on the plasma, with the shiny map and that.

Talking of titles, I wonder why Granada News play the entire title sequence out at the end of their programmes... usually its only the short sting.

If you look at the Granada News & Granada Reports Logos on the Plasma, they look different than the ones on the Oepning Sequence, I wonder if a change of Titles is on the Cards.

i doubt there is a change of titles as would it not be across all the regions? Also i think they should play the small sting at the end, they always had stuff like Back Later or Tomorrow on the end titles before the ITV News look.

I didn't mention anything about the plasma caption, I just said talking of titles. The ones on the plasma are use a lighter blue colour.

Granada News could change their titles to the new blue colour, seeing as two other regions have 'customised' their titles - London who use a diagonal sting & title sequence and Meridian who use a lot of black in their sequence & sting.
