Can I just say I am one of the brave souls [sarcasm there] who will stay up tonight to watch the ITV1/News Channel US Election Results. It is BRILLIANT.
Andrea Catherwood has been unusually good tonight.
James Mates must have some credit for not falling asleep.
Alastair Stewart must be getting tired standing up for 3+ hours non-stop, unless he has a chance to sit down when he hands to Catherwood and Mates.
Great reports from Nina Nannar, Mark Webster, Tom Bradby, some NBC reporter....
Beats David Dimbleby's BBC drivel and Jeremy Thompson's Sky even-worse-dribble. That is my [unpopular, I bet] judgement.

It seems like I'm the only one contributing but Alastair Stewart has been anchoring the News Channel since 11 last night and will continue until 7. And, a very rare British location live report [of 6.25am] from Angus Walker at 10 Downing Street.
6.30am Alastair still going on the News Channel.
James Mates presented the ITV Morning News this morning.
UPDATED Andrew and Lucy took over at 6.30am - 3 minutes after my previous posting.

I agree with you, ITV News even seemed to have better coverage than the US channels. Good to see the 2nd CSO studio with Andrea being done Live, a truly fantasic interactive programme!

i never saw the morning news.i got up at 8 am yesturday andi haven't had any sleep since i stayed up and watch the us election special which i thought was excellent. it is just a shame they couldn't continue the coverage on itv 1 as i thought the gmtv coverage was rubbish compared to itv news coverage throughout this morning nice graphics good programme and very informative

Loved the way ITV showed off on the Lunchtime News by spinning around to the other side of the main studio - and effectively the studio becoming the Virtual Studio.
Also, great background on the Lunchtime News - and they didn't have the annoying strip of the blue squares at the top and bottom of the news wall as they have done in the past.
However, it was a shame ITV1 didn't use the 9.25am slot for an ITV News Special - or at least an update.

Yes that was seemless. Presumably Nick started the programme in the main studio but then cut to a recorded segment which was done in the virtual studio

Yeah. It's very clever how they do that. They've done it with reporters coming in, Nick at the wall, introduces them, pan's out , graphics change on the wall, and then come out of the ground and everything.
I presume in these instances, that the live is part of the CSO in the 2nd studio that they cut to early.
It's nice how they've created a second CSO studio, I presume this is the old main studio.
Question is, why can't they use this studio for the ITV News Channel when they need to reherse in the main studio.
Surely if they had a second desk, the studio works the same, except for the fact that everywhere is green rather than just the wall, and that you can't see it. But this may be a selling point as they could have better graphics.
They could just CSO a graphic of the main set ontop onto the set, and then let everything do it's work.
I'm thinking it could be used for end of Live With Alastair Stewart, and the 4-7pm and 9-10:30pm slots.
And could actually be used after the bulletins to get programmes starting straight on the hour.
That's another thing that still bugs me. Why can't the ITV News Channel have weather presenters doing the weather from the wall?
The wall is the same technology as they use, in the fact that they see a faint image, plus the weather is now based at Grey's Inn Road anyway, and surely this would make perfect sense?
