I didn't know he had left. When was this ? Who took his place ?

Was it ?

Every time I watch it has been grey, and I watch ITV News and the NC every day. I preferred when it was blue, it looks dull and sullen now.

My mistake I have just put the news channel on now and thats how it was the other night. Although im sure when the light first went off it looked worse than it does now.

Didn't somebody mention that the lighting inside the desk had broken which is why the blue wasn't working?

It may have been editorial though, as most of the regional coffeetables don't have blue lamps inside them, they are just grey??

I personally think that CiTV should have its own news service - CiTV News or cITN - to rival Newsround on CBBC. Anyone else think so?

no becouse there is no use trying to make competition, as it is too late. so many people watch newsround, so it would be hard to take viewers away

Just Wondering - I have seen loads of 'And Finally' videos in shops being sold for £1. But these were made in 1994- so where have these come from? Any Ideas??

Interesting idea. I wonder why there has never been a service.
CiTV has been running for 22 years, you'd have thought that they would have tried it at least once.

Personally I can't see anything wrong with them trying one, and can't see it costing that much if they get ITN to produce it, record it in the second studio, so that it can look however it wants to, and re dub the day's reports.

But who would present/appeal to the kiddies then?

At least John Craven had authority !
