How can ITV call that a bulletin? 10 minutes spent on bird flu with a pointless OB at Bernard Matthews, then one report about Blair and 2 sports stories! The OB, presented by the increasingly annoying Geraint Vincent (why can't he keep still?!), was absolutely pointless due to the fog that had descended, meaning viewers could see nothing at all. Why couldn't it just have been presented from ITN with Rommily?
I have just watched the ITV Lunchtime News. When is Nicholas Owen leaving ITN to go to the BBC? I thought it was this month he is to start on BBC News24? Does anyone know when he starts on the BBC?

Patience my friend..... Im sure there will be something posted when ppl know for sure. my oh my what a fussed about Nicholas Owen moving channels! People seem to ask on here every few days!
Tonight's Ebening News was very good indeed. There was a healthy balance of news and bird flu coverage and they fitted a heck of a lot into a 25 minute bulletin.

Looks like today's the day.
Indeed and, according to MediaGuardian, he's doing both the Lunchtime and Evening News bulletins...
Quote:
It is Nicholas Owen day at ITV. The news presenter, who turns 60 this Saturday, signs off for the last time today after 23 years - count 'em - with ITN. As a reward - and Monkey believes this could be a world first - Owen will mark his last day at the broadcaster by presenting both the ITV lunchtime news, with Katie Derham, and the main ITV Evening News, with Mary Nightingale. Here are three things you probably didn't know about Nick, who will join BBC News 24 next month. 1. He joined ITN in 1984 on Channel 4 News. 2. He started his broadcasting career at the BBC, so in a sense he is going home. 3. He presented ITV's rolling news coverage of the death of Princess Diana. Okay, so you knew the last one. Over to the man himself: "I suppose that's what people will remember me for mostly [the Diana crash]. It was a frightful story, and up to that point the biggest story of the TV age, if not the most important." Monkey resists the temptation to ask him about Sporting Triangles - that was the other Nick Owen, of course. "I'm thrilled that ITN has let me do both shows on this of all days. It's a marvellous way to end what has been an utterly superb 23 years among the most talented and lovely colleagues." Anyway, ITV, 6.30pm. There won't be a dry eye in the newsroom.
Can anyone explain to me how on the ITV News bulletins we can see the backdrop of the newswall reflected onto the newsdesk?
Isn't the newswall a green screen? As a newcomer to looking at how ITV News and other news rpogrammes are produced I would like to know!
The "reflections" in the desktop are generated by the same software which creates the newswall.
The software knows where the surface of the desk is supposed to be, and creates an inverted image in that area. The green is reflected on the desk surface providing a keying surface for the reflected background to appear on.
