What's Christopher Peacock doing these days? I just see a shot of him on Sky News, so he must still be doing news reporting.

He's with Central News South (Abingdon), so the honour killing story was on his patch.

Nice to see the VR studio used for a sequence on climate change including guests:

That's what I like about LWJN because the format is always different to the humdrum ITV News.

I agree. The 'Live with''s are generally quite impressive.

Luc Alexander has been on today. This is quite unusual, she's normally weekday. Also, is Phil Gayle set to return to ITV News after his 'year' trip to Australia?

Lucy's doing the Weekend today as well - no idea about Phil Gayle, thought he had left for good.

Oh ITV News must have heard us then...

Much as I personally like the ITV NC, it will take some CONSIDERABLE investment if they have any intentions of catching up with Sky and News 24.

Also, one of their supposed selling points is that the presenters are well known and trusted - however, you rarely get the ITV1 presenters on the channel these days. What I think would be a good idea is to give some of the NC presenters some exposure by giving them a few shifts on ITV1. The likes of Owen Thomas and Lucy Alexander are excellent presenters, but people don't really know who they are - give them both a few goes on the Evening News and raise their profile, they are certainly more than capable of it.

ITV News Channel have been usingf tablet PCs since the relaunch last year. If anything, Sky News were inspired by ITV News Channel.

I hope they use them more on the national news. I have seen them used on ITVNC But never before on the national.
