Thanks for confirming. Nice to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Not sure if this is a first but the News at Six has been presented entirely from location today, with George at Heathrow and Huw in Manchester, with George just reading a brief summary of a few other stories towards the end.

I'm wondering what George was using to read his script from at Heathrow this evening. He clearly didn't have autocue and started the bulletin reading from paper. Later on he was reading something left to the camera - I'm assuming it could have been I-promoter for iphone.

A friend of mine who works for ITN has told me that all presenters are all getting to grips with this app.

Works well incidentally. Wink

The weather was from one of the CSO weather studios as well, rather than from TC7's Barco wall

I've noticed this too throughout the day on all the channels. Jeremy Thompson on Sky was 'Err'-ing his way through the headlines, and on a split TOTH one presenter was just reading from his papers, then looking up to realise the camera was on Him.

I guess it would have looked a bit bizarre to have had just the weather in TC7 with the Barco wall background when everything else had been an OB.

Think it's more likely to have been a script stuck just below the camera but I don't know.

The schedule for election night and the following day show that Election 2010 coverage will begin at 9:55pm on Thursday and end at 2pm. Breakfast and the Ten will run as part of the election coverage and the One is moved to 2pm on Friday. Also on Bank Holiday we are having a normal 25 minute edition of the Ten but other bulletins will run at bank holiday length.

I believe there's also going to be a 30 minute regional opt at around 0930 on Friday.

And the TEN Mon/Tues/Wed of the final week will look a little different... Wink

Why? Because they'll be coming from the election set as already reported, or some other reason?

I wonder if this coming election studio will be in sympathy with the BBC News style?
