The News Channel now has a travel update from Traffliclink (sponsored by National Accident Helpline) at Breakfast at least.

How are the traffic updates being done? Is it in the style of the old itn news channel traffic news with a voice over...? does it have a sting?

They are done by an in-vision reporter at Traffliclink standing in front of a plasma showing motorway cameras (as per the GMTV London Today travel updates)

Yes, there is a sponsor bumper and sting. Not much to write home about though.

I was very surprised to see the Traffic News updates on the NC, especially at 4.50pm, but a useful idea as no other News channel or TV channel does it at that time of day.

But out of all of the companies who sponsor it, why the National Accident Helpline?!? Laughing

It's a bit rubbish though. Basically 2 or 3 London traffic cameras and then a token slide listing somewhere else in the country (Carlisle today). Ok for people in London but useless for everyone else

Andrew Harvey is doing his best trying to cope with the tech difficulties that they're aving at the moment.
Since the the top of the hour at least 5 reports haven't played some interviews haven't been shown and the bit where it says LIVE WITH... was replace with the coming up sting and they have had a 3 minute break at 5 past and still the probs go on
