A dictionary does not have how to use grammar inside which is the point.

Most do, actually, unless the dictionary in question was purchased from Poundland.

Regional News is in terrible slots again on Saturday 12th January. The lunchtime bulletin is at the much earlier time of 11.05am and the main bulletin at 2.45pm. Its daft, why didnt they just show the regional news after the film at 5.30pm before the national news. Also in the past they have had the lunchtime bulletin as late as 2.40pm so people wont be able to tell them apart!

I can't beleive the sheduling for the news on that day, I've just looked it up.

10.55 - 11:05 ITV News
11.05 - 11:10 London Today

14.45 - 15:05 London Today
17.45 - 18:00 ITV News

23.45 - 00:00 ITV News

How bizzare, hopefully it will change, but I doubt it..



That's absolutely ridiculous - worst yet I think. Don't worry though - it's all fine, News at Ten's back so no need to panic!


I think they should aim to fix the late night bulletin at least at 11pm from Friday to Sunday - and perhaps move the weekend regional bulletin to the late slot too, instead of the Lunchtime one?


Anyhow, in a few years time we'll probably be back where we started with News at Ten axed again - and I think then the news would find itself back at 11pm.



Interesting that Geraint did the lead story on the Evening News, and the first story after the break. Usually it's one presenter does the lead and the secound does the after the break story.. Nina only stood up once for the headlines at the start!

I don't think there can be any doubt that ITV is trying to kill off regional news at the weekend by stealth. It's a disgrace.

Has anybody realised that we've seen the beginning of the end to the News at 10.30. Today was the last Friday show - next week it's on at 11!!

Quite ironic how it's last outing is the first time it's scheduled at a time other than the 10.30pm slot (except Bank Hols/Xmas etc.)


I think it's pretty much started on the dot every airing - only time I can recall it being late was when the Champions League went into extra time, and I think that's only been once or twice in the last 4 years.

Why do they have their bullitens at half past the hour? It's completly rediculous. And I think BBC 1 news programming generally works so much better. Maybe following NaT they'll get the hint to change their other bullitens...

Anything! If im going to miss five minutes of the program because of adverts, I want to see less headlines and 'still to come' crap with more content. If im watching the evening news, I'm gonna watch the six because it's on earlier. If I'm gonna watch at lunchtime, I pick the one because it has more content and a better structure.
