Shiuilie is dull as fck , i cant watch her especially early on a friday morning.

I noticed on the weekend news , shulie had been sent off to some grim london OB and Steve Scott was the smooth presenter anchoring the news.
Quite right too.

Shiulie should present more often - i think she is one of the better ITV presenters!


here here. Ive always like Shiulie and she is one of the best presenters at ITV News. She isnt used half as much as she should be on ITV1.

Just seen a nifty new 'new pictures' animating strap/bug at the top of the screen I hadn't seen before.

i wonder what kind of graphics the new channel would get when the itv network rebrand happens.
Are things like Live with and key programmes like DRIVETIME with Steve and Felicity have different graphics ie Headline beds than normal bulletins

Haven't we done all the rumours already, isn't it best to wait for some actual news about the rebrand, or are we going to have this every week until the rebrand happens.

The very idea that there will be major changes to the music etc is very unlikely, news looks generally last longer than 23 months!

They may have to rebrand the news though so its in line with the new ITV presentation

what's wrong with a bit of harmless speculation - or is that not allowed now?
Given that ITV will have an entirely new logo - what's to say that the NC won't take the opportunity to freshen things up a bit (hopefully it'll still be around by then).

It's already been done though over and over again since that ITV4 logo came out. What will happen is that people will build it up to thinking that ITV News will have a major rebrand and then when it comes down to just minor changes there will be disapointment all round.

I personally think all changes will be just a like for like change using whatever new scheme they introduce that we don't know anything about yet. There won't be a new studio, new music etc.

Well I think what the News Channel could do with is proper advertisement allowing for more audience, increasing the revenue of advertising and allowing more money to be invested,
My first suggestion is for branded areas of the news to have seperate identities to be of similar design but have the name of the programme in instead of just ITVNEWS
so Live with segments
Breakfast, Drivetime, ITV News Network (should be renamed UKTonight) will have their own graphics and opening headling bongs

Oh go back to bed Andrew. There really isn't anything wrong with innocuous speculation. It deserves to be in this thread too IMO , as it is completely relevent to ITV News and the presentation.

Yeh I agree with the naming of programmes. Apart from the John Nicolson and Alastair Stewart shows, other programmes don't receive individuality and are unrecognisable. New titles and music for these programmes such as drivetime are definately a must.

For me the biggest problem with the ITV NC isn't anything to do with presenters, content or anything like that. The most annoying thing is that it seems noone at ITV News has any creative flair whatsoever. They really need to employ someone specifically to look after slides, programme titles, and really anything to do with presentation because at the moment, practically everything looks like a bodge job by someone who has no idea what they're doing. Look at the Evening News Extra, for example, the titles and graphics for that are shocking! Everything looks like it's done on the cheap and, as a consequence, gives the channel a cheap feel.
