Yeh we do get a lot of these, they're quite tedious. Sasha is at CNN now. Who did the weekend news this weekend?

When did sasha move?

You're signature is a bit big. 300x60 px is the max (so the page doesn't look too big).

Geraint Vincent is presenting the Weekend News this weekend. And co-presenting the Evening News on Friday 11 August, with Nina Hossain.


Thanks, Londoner - I am grateful for that information. I think he presented the ITVNC on a couple of occasions where I remember it being quite wooden and bad.

Im sure I remember him presenting a bulletin on the HTV News aswell.

I love the way Nic Owen says, 'Geraint' as,'g-runt'

i haven't seen the 10.30 bulletin for quite a while but have tuned in tonight to find that there was no sports segment - is this a permanent thing?

no they just tonight should have been live in lebonan but due to technical problems they had to use the studio for the programme! so the sport will be back when the normal ITV late news returns to normal!

Thanks!

Well they had to use Mary for the first 10 minutes due to the technical problems. She handed over to Mark who apologised and then went back to Mary in the studio 10 minutes later.

I don't know what that has to do with lack of sports news. Confused

Unless Geraint has been on extreme training, this should be funny!!!

It is unlikely it will happen, unless the middle East crisis is resolved within the next few days, otherwise it will be with Mark Austin in Tyre and Nina Hossain in London.

Likewise this weekend, Mark Austin will be th emian anchor of the programme, with Geriant probably reading just a couple of news stories.

He has appeared several times doing the sport on the News at 10.30, has he not, so if his role is only to read a couple of stories then he will probably be ok.

Whilst I do not believe that the unrest in the Middle East will be resolved by next week, I reckon that normal service will be back in place by next Friday and that Geraint will get his chance.

Yeah they should use people like Geraint more for weekend and cover news. Cool You think some of them are better than the current presenters...
