ITV Lunchtime News: now 1 hour as part of ITV Day

The regional news is at 1.10pm, according to Emma Walden on London Today.

Don't hold out much hope for its content - win a holiday in Tenerife, and details of a low-budget film premiere in Basildon

Central News said it was 1.10pm as well.

Faye Barker on Calendar News also said the extended Lunchtime News was at 1.10pm.

Makes sense really as at 1.15, they wouldn't have had any time to go back to ITV News for the headlines. And it allows time for Channel to have a short 5 minute bulletin

Andrew Jones on ITV Wales News mentioned that they were back at 13:10 for the extended Lunchtime bulletin.

Pam Royle has been moved from the 10.30 to lunchtimes on Tyne Tees,
wonder if this means the lunchtime is a higher priority than the 10.30 in the regions?

Granada News is offering FA Cup Tickets at 1.10pm and 6.00pm.

As they seem to be puuting more into the Lunchtime bulletins now, I hope that they have a permanent presenter assigned to them, can't see that happening in London though.

Alastair has now relocated to the virtual studio (with normal desk) ahead of the Lunchtime News.

Yes, I have also just noticed that aswell!

Whereas they used to relocate at 11:45 they must be doing it earlier to allow for more preparation time for the new one hour bulletin!

Also, worthy of note, is that Katie Derham has just appeared on This Morning via the new widescreen telly they got to promote what is coming up on the NEW Lunchtime News and showed a few stories and that Ballot Box Jury graphic asking people to email their questions.

I'm really liking the whole ITV DAY theme so far - the only thing I dont like is the new This Morning studio and graphics they seem to be a step backwards!

Oh dear, those graphics behind Nick are going to take some getting used to...

Any caps from the 12 noon summary?

You mean these? :-

If they were a bit more yellow/orange/red I could understand the reasoning but yellow and purple? WHY?

Mix this together with all the new Election colours and graphics and the news might start to look a mess!

I like it so far, except for the cubes on the Newswall, the oddly shaped desk seems to work well for dual presenting. It tends to me remind me of the ITV Lunchtime News before it became a one presenter programme.
