Mmmm.. don't know. But the Morning News wasn't in the main studio this morning, which suggests something is happening in the studio. Unless they use the virtual set for the weekend editions of the Morning News?

They might not be doing something visual, they might be altering the behind the scenes stuff for widescreen.

What was going on on in the bottom right corner on the Morning News this morning....

That's where there's a green rug-type thing over the computer cables etc to the desk

Evidently the lack of use leads to lack of practice. It's smart, but it looks bloody awful.

Some caps from previous occasions when they've used a wide shot of the virtual studio:

What's happened to Daisy McAndrew? Hasn't been seen on for a few days, wonder if ITV News are giving her a low profile?

She is pregnant, so she may be working a lighter schedule than normal.


God - she's only been at ITV a few months! ITV seems to be far more successful than IVF!

Aren't they giving the set a mini-makeover for Monday's new look?

I wish they'd just demolish the whole lot and start again. The whole thing looks cheap and tacky.

They may be doing something behind the scenes for a Widescreen itv news. I'd guess that they are most probaly doing something with the walkway.
