ITV News

I found it weird tht Steve Scott did the sports roundup with Felicity also working today as well.

In regards to 12-1 sometimes its live sometimes its repeated all depends on presenter schduele - they ran a pretty ship yesterday which suggested the reason why 12-1 was a repeat usually they would have had another 2 presenters working during they day.
Was a bit surprised Chris Rogers wasn't during an hour during the evening like what Joyce or Owen would have done

Today's schedule on the News Channel has looked like this:

08.00 Live with Angela Rippon (Headlines with Carrie Frais)
11.00 Carrie Frais
12.00 Chris Rogers
14.00 Carrie Frais and Jonathan Wills
15.00 Live with Alastair Stewart Special (Headlines with Chris Rogers, Sport with Jonathan Wills)
17.00 ITV Weekend News with Steve Scott
17:15 Live with Alastair Stewart Special

Why is Alastair Stewart presenting at the weekends now? Isn't Mon-Fri enough for him?

Surely it's obvious that it's connected to the ongoing events in Rome?

So it looks like today's schedule on the News Channel has looked like this:

08.00 Live with Angela Rippon (Headlines with Carrie Frais)
11.00 Carrie Frais
12.00 Chris Rogers
14.00 Carrie Frais and Jonathan Wills
15.00 Live with Alastair Stewart Special (Headlines with Chris Rogers, Sport with Jonathan Wills)
17.00 ITV Weekend News with Steve Scott
17:15 Live with Alastair Stewart Special
19:00 Chris Rogers
20.00 Steve Scott
21.00 Chris Rogers
23.15 ITV Weekend News with Steve Scott
23.45 Chris Rogers
00.00 Philipa Tomson (Live)

Add Sian Jones to that ^^ she's doing the updates.

Where did this Philipa Tomson spring from was she brough in overnight in case they needed to go live she never presented through the rest of the day?
I mean who is she?

She's from Central News, apparently

Maybe she was scheduled to do the evening but due to Chris Rogers being moved from most of the afternoon and the fact that Chris is a bigger name on the News Channel, she only got to do an hour

Rather chirppy thin to. She usually does GMTV updates. Quite frankly a bit gobby.

I didn't know that Alastair Stuart was on at the weekend.
He's on now but its not listed on the EPG.
I know its a big story but I dont think I've seen this before when there have been other major events happening, it is good to see but I think its wasted. He should have done it a little later, about 5pm when most people are watching rather than the aftenoon when most are out (as its a lovely day).

Fancy seeing an ITV News Report last night, almost breaking into the closing credits of the preceding programme "Hit Me Baby One More Time Results" on ITV.
It has been officially confirmed that ITV1 beat the BBC to bring you the announcement of the death of the Pope.
The ITV News Report was presented by the weekend news presenter on duty, Steve Scott.
