Leyla Daybelge & Lauren Taylor have both presented ITV1 Weekend Bulletins (both the Lunchtime, Evening & Late) recently... so should a footnote be added?

Leylas done the Evening weekday as well.

Could Chris Ship be categorised as a Morning News presenter?

Indeed but the fact that it was notable was that they arn't ITV1 presenters. Alistair Stewart has been on ITV1 a lot lately but isn't really an ITV1 News presenter.

Philippa Tomson is from Central news and should be put in the regional weekend cover category.

Sian Jones is freelance.

Nick Clark should be in the freelance/occasional category - he hasn't been an ITV London person since the LNN-ITN handover.

And Ronke Phillips should probably be in the regional category.

Have itv News now scrapped the Lunchtime News background? Today the blue squares were used again instead of the normal white, blue and yellow background.

Yes I noticed that - it could very well have been judged as inappropriate in light of last week's events - but then I thought it was dreadful in the first place.

The use of that newswall could be so much better IMO. The view of the atrium as seen on election night was far superior to the tacky backgrounds they serve up on a regular basis.

couldn't agree more... the lunchtime squares shouldn't have been 3d... and YES bring back the atrium for all bulletins... marvellous!

So Rahman (51) has now left Granada, so is unlikely to present on the ITV NC again anytime soon.

I think someone said somewhere he is joining Al Jazeera. A shame to see him leave Granada, by far their best presenter.

Im preety sure it is in light of last weeks evens - the last time we saw it was on Wednesday - the day before the attacks. Interesting to note also that it appears the team have also stopped using that 'horrific' red colour for 'Target London' and have now gone to a dark purple.
