So far today it's been Owen Thomas, Jon Nicolson and Andrew Harvey.
I wish Owen and Jon had proper slots on the news channel - maybe the new year will see some rearangements of the scedule, 2 presenters in the evening would be good.

And then after that we had a bit of Carrie Frais.
Nina Hossain could have done an hour or two in the afternoon but didn't. It seemed a bit of a waste.
A lot of each hour was filled with a special recorded Showbiz spot and an interview with Ricky Gervais, which Alistair Stewart recorded in the London Tonight studio.

She was doing News 24 sport on Christmas Eve evening.
That Gervais interview is at least a month old.

He may have been on the rota to do today anyway, we'll never know.

ITN are bringing their big guns in - they've dragged Mark Austin to work.
Also, ITV1 tonight at 8, an ITV News Tsunami Special. Presented by Mark, I bet. The programme replaces Mr Bean, which oddly got a mention on the ITV NC.

Odd, Teletext guide had the 12:30 bulletin as a full 'ITV Lunchtime News", running from 12:30 - 13:00, but it seemed to be a standard fifteen minute (thirteen in reality) round-up with adverts for five minutes, then regional news. 
Seeing as it wasn't full length, they didn't use the 12:30 clock.
ITV, or ITN whoever decides, seem to have 'pick and mixed' a lot of presenters. James Mates and Steve Scott on Christmas Eve, Nina Hussein and Steve Scott on Christmas Day, Steve Scott on Boxing Day and its been Mark Austin so far today. So a couple of the mainstream presenters, but non of the official Weekend News presenters (one step down from mainstream, but above News Channel) like Bill Neely or Andrea Catherwood.

It seems to be standard practice at Christmas for each presenter to work one day each, but then do the full day. Except Trevor McDonald of course.
So we've had James Mates on Xmas Eve (and a little bit of Steve Scott but he was on the NC anyway), Nina Hossian on Xmas Day, Steve Scott on Boxing Day and Mark Austin today.
Over on the ITV News Channel it's been Lloyd Bracey and Carrie Frais most of the afternoon. Rachel McTavish was back today presenting the 5.55am News Summary, which I expect is not simulcast on the NC.

The ITV Special is on ITV1 now, is it on the ITVNC? Didn't catch the titles, but did they use the ITV News Special titles (like the Summary but with Special instead). I thought I heard the Summary theme.
