Just a quick question - when did EMT revert to their previous London 'rings' style titles rather than their new unique endboard?

Typical EMT wasting their money they've had more re vamps than Ann Davies has had holidays (shes off again i see Mel and Quentin were presenting yesterday) They had the awful sofa look in 2002-2005 then that awful ironing board look with a tweak in their credits then they had a new set only earlier this year and now they've changed their endcap again. Why don't they just change their titles theyre v old and outdated!!!!!
Still at least their news is not as dire as Centrals it doesn't surprise me that Marie left central east !Its gone downhill more and more since LLewella went back to Central West and Annabelle left for North West Tonight. I watched
Central East online and it was awful!!!!!

Thank gawd we have decent presenters in the north west and a new set for NWT its nicest set in ages with 2 v good presenters

Well Llewella still does bulletins for CNE on occasion, as well as the joint bulletins at weekends.

Marie's official line for leaving CNE was the commute to B'ham, she was hardly seeing anything of her kids, so she took a post at EMT (along with Natalie Jackson, Dominic Heale, Anne Davies and Alistair Jackson!!).

A lot of ex-CNE staff are now working at The Media Group too.

I'm saddened to see the way CNE has gone in decline over the past couple of years. Many good people have left/been made redundant from there; from what I hear it's run very much on skeleton staff at Terry Lloyd House.

It's a shame... but this is the brave new world of ITV from Michael Grade (confer yesterday's announcements). Let's hope it's worth it Confused

More looks than Anne Davies' wardrobe, surely?

I do like the current set, although I wish that they'd show something other than Trent Bridge (the actual bridge, that is, not the cricket ground) as the backdrop once in a while. It's not exactly the most riveting landmark.

Dominic Heale's been away a couple of times since early summer. I wish they could settle down and give us a regular pairing. I wonder if his health is letting him down again.

Marie Ashby , a much publicised return but she's been rarely around this year.
She was the host on The Politics Show but where is she now ?

Another one on the Merry Go Round is Priya Kaur Jones, has she left EMT again after coming back again this year. I don't know what her permanent position is now.

Doesn;t Priya work for GMTV now, or is that a different Priya? Confused

Priya has been reading the news updates, and doing certain reports on GMTV since about late August.

Yeah I noticed but I was wondering if it was just a temp job with gmtv. Seems she has ditched EMT again in search of more' fame' and a higher profile position. Wink

John Hess presented the East Midlands politics show today, wonder what Marie Ashby is doing for the BBC ? Maybe she's not...

Marie does Inside Out for BBC East Midlands. She also (usually) presents Friday's EMT at 18:30

Well remembered Roger , Her hosting of the Inside Out show had slipped my memory. I look forward to seeing her on there again and maybe once again as Dom's Girl Friday on emt.
