They lost Marie Ashby from Central Nottingham during UK Today so we got this instead:

I bet the line was booked until 1530. For some reason, line bookings often expire a minute early.

Changes on the presenters page

It still looks a bit shoddy though, they could do with getting them all in for a photo shoot, whilst they're at it create a presenters 2005 photo and then bring back old ITV News faces for an ITN/ITV 50 years.

Why is it that they don't put permanent News Channel presenters onto that page such as Chris, Leyla, Alistair, Andrew and Lucy?

Though thinking about all of this, it is itv.com!

That sounds more like it as UK Today is usually on much earlier than 1529

Is it still on now? (I cant view as the channel isnt on freeview) Surely it cant be a permanent colour scheme - where else does red fit into the itv clour package, i thought everything was blue and yellow?

I dont think they would keep red, as it isnt part of their colour scheme! Probably forgotton to change it.

I do like the idea of having the ticker to change colours for the different types of news though.

I wouldn't mind a change in colour every now and then, perhaps have a read box above the clock for breaking news, and then set it really going by having the screen totally changing and the lights turning red, surely this would get peoples attention!

Why don't ITV News lower there graphics so that the clock and ticker are lower down? Sky News manages to get away with their ticker lower on the screen, surely it's less obtrusive this way, especially if everything else gets lowered.

The ticker is actually at the same height as the Sky News Ticker, except it is a thin strip, whereas Sky News have there ticker comming from the bottom of the screen. If you notice there is alot of blue underneath the ticker.
