I prefer James presenting the news rather than Mark. I would like to see James as the regular presenter of the News at 10.30 five nights a week with Mark presenting the ITV News at 6.30pm with Mary.
Not sure that's ever going to happen! I'd rather see Alastair presenting the 10.30.
I don't know whether Alastair would prefer a permanent national spot but ITN make great use of him in his current "floating" role.
A year later, and still no sign of Leyla Daybelge on TV
:
Didnt she do bulletins over Christmas last year so she was around for a while after the news channel closed.
My presenter line up would be
ITV Lunchtime News - Nick Owen
ITV Evening News - Mark Austin and Mary Nightingale (with Geraint and Lucy standing in
ITV Nightly News - with Nina Hossain (James Mates standing in)
ITV Weekend News - with Lucy Owen
5.30 - Sandy Gall
5.45 - Sir Trevor Macdonald
12.34 - Ant and Dec
3.25 PM - The Queen
6.34 (just to make the times equal) - Reginald Bosanquet and Moira Stuart
10.30 - Pete from Big Brother
with minutely news and traffic updates from Owen Thomas and Stephen Cole
Mark Austin
