So, is there no truth in the rumour that Jeremy Thompson is leaving Sky to join ITN? Or is that all years old news?
Really, there's rumours that Jeremy Thompson is leaving Sky for ITV News! If it's true, then it will be Jeremy Thompson returning to ITN - he was there about 1988, I remember - but I can't imagine Jeremy leaving Sky. I bet he is a fiercely loyal Sky follower.
Also, ITN may be negotating a contract with Peter Sissons or Michael Buerk to rejoin ITN or Matthew Amroliwala from News 24, when Trevor retires.
Did they create it so that it looked like the wall was behind and have long shots, etc. or did they just have the two, maybe three shots and just put the moving squares behind.
How come when they're in the second set they don't use it more than just as a simple CSO? Couldn't they use the model that they've got for reports where the wall looks far away, etc and do a few reports from the wall.
Though they don't use it that much in the main studio. They have fantastic technology, but they just seem to mostly use it as a CSO.
I'm not sure I follow you. What do you mean "they just seem to mostly use it as a CSO"? As opposed to what? What would you rather they use it as?
To do presentations similar in style to thee briefings, usually done by
Andrea Catherwood on the ITV News at 10:30 and other programmes.
I.E. using it to make it look like the main studio rather than just using it as a C.S.O.
I was shocked this morning to wake up to Faye Barker from Yorkshire TV presenting with Andrew Harvey this morning. I'd never thought I'd see the day when a Yorkshire presenter/reporter was on the NC.

But I thought the interview in question DID look like the main studio! I'm still not sure what distinction you make between CSO and "looking like the main studio". Sorry for being slow!
BREAKING NEWS
Like I mentioned in the "ITV Newsreaders on C4 and five" thread, Sky Television has announced that from January:
Charlie Stayt will become their main lunchtime news anchor
Kate Sanderson and Kate Adie [both from the BBC] will be reporting/newsreading for five.
That is a shame. I was expecting Charlie Stayt to go over to the ITV News. I think he is more ITV News material, but there you go.
Does anyone else find the way that the desk is 'see-through' in the CSO broomcupboard looks really odd? (Though I suppose it is arguably more realistic/natural than the 'reflection' from the newswall in the main studio). It would be nice if the setup in the two studios was consistent though.

If you read the first post, I didn't know as I hadn't seen it, and was asking and then elaborated on to how it should be used like that for the main ITV News Channel whilst they are rehersing for the programmes in the main studio, instead of simply being used as a green screen for backgrounds to be added on.
I'm sorry for the confussion!
I've never noticed that reflection in the CSO before. Surely they could just tweak the image that going to go on the CSO behind them so that it reflects from where the desk starts.
Plus, whilst I'm thinking about it (that Christmas thread is taking over my brain!), as ITV News will no doubt have their usual reports on Christmas Shopping and the rush in the week leading up to it, and the fact that they use the old shiny squares from ITV1, does anyone else think that they should use the shiny snowflakes from last year as a backdrop for light hearted stories over Christmas?
Though of course they could always just add any background, or even change colours if they wanted to (surely that's just a matter of changing the colour of graphics on the CSO and the lights behind it that go up the studio wall, the only thing that they can't change is the floor as that's light blue).

I think the reflection from the newswall in the main studio looks far more realistic. But you're right, it would be nice if they looked the same.
