It's chromakey. It stands for colour selection overlay I think, but i'm not sure. It's when they have blue but more commonly green screen backgrounds, like the 'theatre of news' which allows them to do all sorts of things, like during Wmbledon (my favourite 'chromakey moment') when they put Mark Austin into a tennis pitch, when he was just inside the studio. However, most of the ITV News involves chromakey, if you've ever seen shots of the studio without it turned on, it's very interesting.
Such as this shot (which inexplicably has "Breaking News" superimposed on the background):

It really looks cheap and second rate when compared with the new Sky News newswall
I know that this may sound a bit thick of me, but if they add a faint rear projection to help the presenters in the studio, why can't they just rear project the whole of the news wall? Wouldn't it work as well, surely it would be fainter, but wouldn't it look better overall?

Looking back at posts from when the ITV News thread was first made, there are talks about a CSO. Can anyone tell me what that is?

Yes Leyla has done the Evening News a few times, plus the Lunchtime News and, as mentioned above, the Weekend News too. Very good she is too.

I think you've answered your own question there! Just have a look at the BBC's disasterously washed-out projection screens on News 24 to get an idea of how it would look. You can't easily light a person standing right next to a projection screen without spill onto the screen. When that happens, all the blacks go to grey.
