Is it not great to hear the words ITN read again on television by Mark Austin: "E-mail us at whateveritwas@itn.co.uk. "
A much better name than ITV News.


Ang on a min how is it much better? for one its the SAME name.


No it isn't.

And channel 4 doesnt use ITN news, so why should ITV? The so called big difference you think between Independent Television News and Indepenedant Television News, I will never know. Face it, its gone.


ITV is Independent Television. ITN is Independent Television News. They are different companies with different names.

I think the point he was trying to make is that ITV News and ITN when both strung out say the same thing - Independent Television News - though you're right, they are different things.

ITN provide a service to ITV called ITV News, just like they provide a service to Channel 4 called Channel 4 news.

Oh, I see. But ITV News is simply a brand - a programme strand name, whereas ITN and ITV are companies.

Indeed. Anyway, it's all a bit pedantic really isn't it?

What do you mean by "a bit pedantic"?

Also, Nina Hossain must be on Election preparations, unless she is on holidays.

its nice to be having andrea on the evening news, no offence to nina but they should have used Andrea, Felicity maybe even Katie Shuilie to cover for Mary's maternity leave.
They've used Shuile and some other reporters before why not now!

Andrea is awful, she is just as bad as Nina. He voice gets on my nerves, her clothes aren't very appropriate and she is rigid.

Interesting change - or hickup - on the Evening Noos tonight, instead of the usual end of headlines sting (with the world behind) we had the cubes forming up and at the end there was no reverse titles, but just the cubed world...

P.S. I think Mark was distracted because he said on 10.30 at news

Another six nations weekend and yet another report all about ENGERLAND on the itv news Sad Sad
do the B R I T I S H news service on itv1 always have to feature ENGERLAND everytime regardless if they win OR lose! this is NOT an english-only service Shocked Shocked
when wales have won their last few games it has got a passing mention where the more important news was ENGERLAND losing
when are itn going to provide a BRITISH service catering for the WHOLE of BRITAIN? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Probably because there are more people in England to cater for. If you want the latest of your team, watch ITV Wales News or Scotland Today...
