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...

thanks for that insite john
maybe people in engerland should watch their regional news programs for news on the engerland team?


Ha! central news, hardly tells you about local teams. Let alone national ones!

Maybe all the national regions (e.g. Wales) should have a Channel TV style Report Sport with the latest from the local teams and how Wales are doing in Rugby etc...

PS It is England.

now wales have won 4 out of 4 games i wonder if the news programs will now feature that they are the only team left to win the grandslam? Confused: Confused: i still dont see why its acceptable to feature every engerland match, regardless of performance, even though it is supposed to be a nationwide service? Confused: Confused: lets hope the wales scotland match is actually featured on a main itv one news program as engerland arent playing today Laughing or will johnny 'i done all the hard work' wilkinson injuring his knee take precidence? Shocked

I am suprised nobody has mentioned this - but Chris Rogers also made his ITV1 News debut on the Dimbleby News Summary at 12.45 this afternoon.

It wasn't his ITV1 debut - he's done the weekend lunchtime summaries on a number of occasions.

I am sorry. It was the first time I sae him on ITV1 News as a newscaster. I've seen him before reporting on it, though.

Anyone know if there is anywhere that you can find out who won what at the ITV News Group Awards?

Very good special report from Aceh on the Weekend News, but is this not the type of thing that should be on the Evening News or News at 10.30, instead of the Weekend News.

Don't forget that the Sunday early evening bulletin regularly pulls in the best ratings of the week.

So if they're going to spend serious money sending Dan back to Aceh, I guess it makes sense to use his report on that bulletin.
