did anyone else notice the lower-case lettering used on the straps during the headline sequence on ITV1 this evening? I wonder why they decided on a change...


I noticed that too. I think the usual style looks better.


Agreed. They did this for a day during the election period IIRC, but must have realised their mistake and changed back. So it beats me as to why the weekend team used this format tonight.

Just out of interest has ITV News dropped UK Today?


I've definitely caught it once or twice in the last week... (and immediately switched channels!)

A simple mistake again, I would imagine. The person typing them in either didn't know that lower-case lettering shouldn't be used, or just forgot that it shouldn't.

I also wondered who she was. Lloyd Bracey also seems to be on a lot more at weekends lately. Anyone like to produce a list of everyone who has presented on the ITV News Channel this year, there must be at least 30 different people!
