ITV News

Neither - they used a video of the tsunami with an 'ITV News Special' or something like that writen below TSUNAMI - but not the logo, just text.

Yes, I saw they didn't use any of those titles at the end... Makes you wonder why they have them?

John

i have never seen the itv news special titles. whenever they have a special they make individual titles

edit.
spotted a new breaking news picture on the itv news website this afternoon and the story is still there
http://www.itv.com/news/world_865469.html

the itv news website does not have anywhere near as much analysis of the tsunami as sky and the bbc do have. i like itv news but feel it is let down by the lack of analysis on it's website. does anyone else agree.

AFAIK I haven't seen the ITV News Special titles at all, and the ITV News Report titles have appeared once, only when ITVNC broke into ITV1 to cover the Russian School Siege back in September.

which itv regions use dogs in the lower left hand side of the screen? i know central west, east and south don't - meridian and LNN do ... but apart from that ...

I remember 2 years ago ITV News used to have Video and Audio reports on their website, What happened to them?

ITV News again has gone beyond expectations for me, covering the Asia Tsunami. With live reports there from Asia at 3 in the morning from senior reporters like Harry Smith, then Adrian Britton in Phuket, and Martin Geissler being the first Western journalist to arrive in the Maldives.
It goes to show ITV News can still pull it off, and still bring us outstanding news, with an annual cut budget.

Also, Lloyd Bracey is joining.... Romilly Weeks at 7am.

Bring back the ITN brand!! I hate the ITV News label, it stinks. Also, bring back some household names to ITN/ITV News. They currently don't appear to have any.


However, the current crop of presenters and reporters in Asia ARE doing an excellent job.

The entire Evening Bulletin was on the Asia earthquakes, not one mention of any other UK news. And to add on that, they had a further half hour at eight o'clock, perhaps they should've used that for the earthquakes and the Evening News for UK Stories. Seeing as quite a large amount of what was said in the News special was repeated from previous bulletins.

Lookaround
ITV Wales News
ITV West News
Calendar (with what appears to be just a Blue Blue Blue Yellow square, no text execpt on astons)
Meridian Tonight/News
London Tonight/Today

Wales and Granada do not, the dog only appears with the astons etc -- and I've a feeling it's the same with Yorkshire.

I agree with you, BBC WORLD. The ITV News label is doing ITV or ITN no favours. And really, does the ITN bulletins have to have local news in it.

However, I do think that there are already full established well-known household names - people like Nicholas Owen.

But it would be nice for ITN reinstating the original ITN household names with people like...
Anne Lechuars
David Cass
Brenda Rowe
Alastair Burnet or Sandy Gall - both against 'ITV News', wanted 'ITN News' to remain, weren't we all?
Anna Ford
Martyn Lewis
Michael Buerk
Frank Bough*
Peter Sissons etc.

* I know Frank Bough has never worked for ITN and ITV but it would be nice to see Frank back reading the news. Just because his drug-takings and "kinky dungeon sex" ruined his career in the 80's, doesn't mean he can't kickstart his TV comeback.
Should we start a petition?!!

Any thoughts?
