Anglia/East of England News Discussion

And here's a thread for discussion on presentation for the local news programmes in the East of England.

First Question:

Any idea when Anglia News will be getting the Black & Yellow treatment?

Former Anglia Reporters Take Legal Action On ITV Over Age Discrimiation

TWO former Anglia TV reporters are today launching legal action against the broadcaster over claims they were victims of unfair dismissal and age discrimination.

Dianne Stradling and Rebecca Atherstone, who are in their 50s, claim they were made to re-apply for their jobs - only to be allegedly rejected in favour of younger women.

The allegations relate to the major restructuring of Anglia TV earlier this year when around 30 jobs were cut as part of plans to merge its east and west programmes.

Heard a report on Anglia News last week by an Angela Johnston. Could this be the same AJ who worked as a reporter and presenter for Lookaround at ITV Border ?

purlease....Evening Star - Local evenin rag for Ipswich and a couple of villages nearby.

It's good to see that they are using the background screen more now. instead of the view of Norwich (I think) we now get pictures relating to the story.

Also I see Anglian Windows are the new sponsors for Anglia Weather

They must be the only region left who are still using the old blue titles and set lighting.

They have gone black and yellow back in December!

My bad! I didn't notice the date on the post!

And technically, even if they are not fully ITV Plc Channel still use the teal look.

Just Titles and Astons, not the set.

Dianne Stradling's lost her claim at the tribunal:
