And, as MediaMonkey, I wonder how Nick will sign off...

Quote:
Another first for Nicholas Owen, who as Monkey regulars will know signs off from ITV News today after 23 years with the news broadcaster. Owen, who will co-host both the lunchtime and evening news bulletins today, signed off the 1.30pm bulletin with an ITV News first - an on-screen kiss with co-presenter Katie Derham. The joy of presenting the news standing up, we suppose - a quick peck on the cheek is not quite so easy when you are sat behind a desk. Anyway, it certainly raises the bar for Owen's farewell from tonight's evening news, in which he will co-host with Mary Nightingale. So what's it going to be, Mary? A kiss? Two kisses? Or a full-on media luvvy hug? No pressure, though.

Aww, what a nice ending to the Evening News. Mary did a quick report on Nick's years at ITN. With them kissing and hugging at the end. .
Also they didn't walk down to the desk, they were too busy!

A nice recap of his career, (must admit that I didn't remember him with dark hair).
I thought Mary was a little reticent at the end and it was more a case of Nick kissing her - she had probably read the MediaMonkey piece and was feeling the pressure Wink.

Think they just about got it right - they made sure he got a send-off, but didn't make too big a deal about it.


Might have been better though to have Katie host the Evening News as well though tonight considering Mary has just an occassional on-screen partnership with him.


And considering Mark is back at 10.30pm, it seems it really was a case of giving him a primetime send-off, not just making him work till the last minute!
