Amusing to see that the Guardian mentions how News 24's share has fallen by about .10, and Sky has maintained its share, yet the BBC only mention the latter.
"For the three weeks before the election was called BBC One's Six O'Clock News had an average of 4.7 million viewers, which has since slipped to 4.5 million.........
......... ITV Evening News bulletin has dropped from 4.6 million to 4.4 million"
And from reading on here I thought nobody watched ITV News, so that just proves the ratings are practically neck and neck

I read ITV evening news was the most watched news bulleting one day this/last week. ITV should bring back the nightly news at 11, at least that had viewers, and it was good to have a 20 min round up followed by regional news.
Im sick to death of news at the moment, with extended bulletins everywhere, there is too much. Thank god for GMTV, a ten min round up and that its, thats all we need thank you very much!

Some pity for us poor bugers covering the flaming thing. I've really had enough of it now! I've so far interviewed 9 local candidates, all basically saying the same thing. Bring on May 5th and a well over due long weekend.
P.S. is anyone else having to work this bank holiday?

Yes, well done Andrew. You got it RIGHT this time... neck in neck, NOT as you said not so long ago, that ITV was beating the Six "on most nights".
For strange people like me, who work with politicians, the election is the most exciting thing to happen since er... the last one.
This campaign has been interesting though, regardless of Jeremy Paxman (Week 2: "It's shaping up to be a really interesting campaign, this, isn't it?" Week 3: "This is such a boring campaign, isn't it?") and is by no means over.

I never said that, that was someone else.
I know that they are very close with the BBC just in the lead, most people on here think that 8.4m watch the 6 against 0.1m for ITV News!

Well then I must apologise, it must have been some other "misinformed" poster.
It was probably one of those that appears for a month at a time, fawns all over Owen Thomas and then storms off in a huff, cursing anyone who backs the license fee...
Quite honestly with the way the six is at the moment I'm not surprised ITV is beating them. For the BBC to produce such a pathetic bulletin when they show how they can do such good news for Newsnight, Radio1 and BBC3 is really quite shocking

What's the cure?
Not producing such an asthmatic wheeze of a bulletin that appeals to the lowest common denominator would be a good start. The 6 lacks any real depth, and focuses far too much on "social" issues. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it wasn't done with such a lightweight approach to everything.
