I see Mark Austin is absent today again as Gerraint Vincent was presenting the Evening News with Mary Nightingale. With James Mates now doing the News at 10:30.

Yes it says in the Radio Times that Mark will not be presenting all week.

Not really a surprise, is it? It's half term.


Its half term next week - well at least down here it is.


It's a week earlier in England for some reason.

I'd be careful if I were you. Most of them are probably posting on here...

Does Lawrence McGinty still work at ITN? He is now appearing on CNN. However, given that ITN pool quite a lot into CNN, it would not be surprising to see the odd report from an ITN journalist, in this case McGinty.

However, when ITN pool to CNN, the sign off at the end of the report is always: "Paul Davies. ITV News. Central London".....etc...etc OR "Paul Davies. Channel 4 News. Central London..."

When McGinty appears on CNN, he signs off: "Lawrence McGinty. CNN. Central London". Always states "CNN".

Has he been poached, or do CNN and ITN share the costs 50%-50% for this relatively irregular (science) correspondence?

I don't know but my guess is those costs are sky-high given the number of worldwide jollies they send him on... Rolling Eyes

Last I checked CNN do from time to time have Reports available to them from ITN, I guess it's like the NBC News - ITV News deal in a way, although I'm not 100% certain.

Mary Nightingale doing her second Friday of the year - probably more than the whole of last year!

Has she done the full week then - that must be a first!


Who did the Lunchtime News?
