lol, do you think ITV News's idea to use the same set, mostly for the ITV News Channel, including a lot of the same presenters is starting to pay off in ratings. I read somewere on here that ITV News Channel came second with News 24 top, and Sky News bottom, at some points of the day

I know this may sound like a simple and stupid question but while presenting can the presenters actually see the pictures on the newswall or do they just see the normal green colour?

I think they see very faint parts of the image that is on the newswall but its still all green.

And this is what happens when you hold a shiny object at the wrong angle.
