They're recorded, surely?

Quite often you see a VT clock with "ITV National Weather - take 37" or similar.

All weather forecasts national or regional are recorded on ITV AFAIK


Afraid the national ones are live (most of the time anyway) - I know this because it has been known for ITN tol get their times mixed up and start late and get cut off, or vice versa!


And if the weather goes on for a few seconds more than it should, you see Becky Mantin looking over to the side of her, or Martin Davies smilling and waving his head about. Laughing

Which regions have blue wall lights in the studio?

It seems ITV Tyne Tees has a vile looking teal colour, I would prefer a blue, as things in the news department are going back to that colour.

Good to see more 'LIVE' reporter links on North East Tonight recently. Rather than just the newsreaders introducing reports.

Anyone know the date for the launch of 'ITV Local - Tyne Tees' because on their website, www.tynetees.tv it says just August, anyone know the date in that month? Plus what regions will be launching alongside it?

I only see one 5-minute regional bulletin tomorrow at 12.25. There is no 15-minute edition. Is that a mistake in the listings?

Digiguide says that The Mummy Returns at 15:15 includes ITV News & Weather ; Local News and Weather.

It's just bizarre scheduling, it gives no idea as to what time the bulletin is going out, just sometime between 15:15 and 18:10.

Thanks for that. It seems very silly. Why couldn't they just have the news at 5.40? Rolling Eyes

Part of ITV Local Yorkshire is now up - however not the full website. According to the website they are having technical difficulties adding new regions (Probably Tyne Tees & Yorkshire, as they are launching in August). Hopefully they'll get them online soon.. Laughing

Is it me, or is the whole generic look getting quite bland?
