If Nina is off on maternity they really should cut the new lunchtime news down to one presenter with Nick and Katie alternating, and then Katie filling in for Mary on the Evening News.


Katie does London Today though so it maybe Lucy Owen will stand in for Mary/Nina on the ITV Evening News.

They could have people filling for Katie Derham on London Tonight, though.

I suppose so, but there seems to be a lack of regular female presenters on the ITV News at the moment with only Mary, Katie and Nina as the regulars and with Nina going on matunity leave soon. They have plenty of male newsreaders with Mark, Nick, Alistair, James, Steve and Geraint.

Katie Derham is joining Mark on the Evening News tonight.


According to the Radio Times, she's presenting all this week and next.

I don't have next week's Radio Times but my copy of this week's has Katie on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mary on Monday and Thursday and doesn't specify who will be presenting on Friday.
They must have updated their information between print runs, (we'll have to wait until Thursday to see which was more up-to-date Smile).


Sorry, my mistake, Mary is back next week Embarassed

Who does Katie think she was dressed up like on last nights Evening News?
Looked like a bag of s*** tied up.

I appear to be immune to Nina's charms
(and no, it's not a sexual preference issue).

I thought this an interesting shot of the atrium
(taken from the end of the Channel 4 news).

But Lucy does Wales Tonight and it be much simpler for ITN to get someone in to cover Katie than to get Lucy down to London.


Agree though with Andrea and Felicity gone, plus Nina on maternity, they certainly now need another female regular.

.... anyone know anything about the sop that was offered when the ITVNC closed, the mini bulletins on ITV2 and ITV3?

No it wasn't. ITV told us after the closure of the newschannel that we would see mini-bulltins on ITV2/3. It's a shame really, as Channel 4 have made great use of the More Four service by having M4News.

The money saved will be ploughed back into the main ITV1 news service, while bulletins will also be launched on digital channels ITV2 and ITV3.

Do ITV2 and ITV3 still screen them Showbiz News bulletins in the middle of movies?


I don't think a More4 news style bulletin would be suitable at all for ITV2 or ITV3, but perhaps a short summary around 9pm on ITV2 could work. Quite often the (US) programme in the 8pm hour has a filler programme after it!
