sorry a bit off topic but any idea when freeiew viewers in south uk will get itv news back?


If you go to: www.digitalspy.co.uk then Forums, Then DTT, Freeview and TUTV Forum you will find the return schedule, either than or ring the duty office and listen to some wonderful music...

Just now on the News Channel we got the Big Ben Bong + the full bed with the ITV News Sting playing out (you got all of the 'swooshes')... Then it cut to Libby Wiener's identity card report...

Great to see Alastair Stewart present News at 10:30 tonight! Is this his first time?

ITV News do really seem to be using him a lot since his election coverage! Is he being primed to take over from Sir Trev?

Straight after the News at 10.30, the ITV News Channel showed a trailer for Live with Alastair Stewart.

The question is when did he actually last present "Live with..."?

Nope, Mark Austin is the likely replacement from Trev, which means that its likely Mark will do both the 6.30pm and 10.30pm, I have nothing against Mark, but I agree with you he should be doing the 10.30pm, he's a great newsreader and good to see ITV News using him more often.

Oh BTW Andrew he presented 'Live With....' this morning for the first time in weeks, he must have a really long day at ITN, did he also present London Tonight aswell?

He did it for the first time in a long time on the late network bulletin a couple of weeks back. I think he is a likely contender for the 6.30 (i dont believe they will use Mark for both for long, if at all), but perhaps not due to his commitments to the ITV Regions.

Strangely Alastair Stewart did infact LIVE with Alastair Stewart on the ITV News Channel even though he presented the 10:30 bulletin the night previous!

Well, I suppose he has commitments t that again now seeing as Nick Owen's back, so he'll have to be there - 10.30 or not.

Liked it yesterday when Alastair signed off with the line "a very good night to you." Nice to hear him say it again!
