ITV News

Felicity is, as has been said, probabaly on a well deserved holiday. I think we've been there done that and bought the t-shirt when it comes to talking about Nina H. I think Lisa Knights is really good, I hope they keep her for other features of the programme.
Whilst I've been away, have there been anymore former news channel faces on ITV1/London Tonight lately?

Susan Bookbinder doing today's London News.

itv.com/news has been tweaked in the past few days - nothing much, just a slightly different coloured background and the new logo, which looks terrible.

That may well be the case, but it is intriguing that Felicity was not there at the relaunch of the channel's news output. I hope she was on holiday and is back tomorrow. I much prefer her to Lisa; who is good. I also think the speculation over Nina is valid, yet you are right when you say that this has been exhaustive.

We will just have to wait and see!!

Felicity has left ITN and is going to work for Al Jazeera in London.
They had been courting her for some time but she resisited until ITV closed down the news channel.

If that's true it's a shame but not unexpected.

I was beginning to wonder if Felicity too was pregnant - after all she is a woman who works for ITV News!

Let's just see what happens at around 10.45pm this evening before we get too carried away!

No credits at the end of the bulli - are you're slipping, Roger!!

Is it me or does the newswall background look very clear tonight ? The newsroom part looks really clear and not so blurry.

As I have said before, this image from TV Ark.org.uk:

Why don't ITV use this one? Plus with the video screen moved a window forward, you hav'nt got the funny perspective on the current newsroom view, and if you move that back it looks more real. Plus with the Election logo screen in the background, they could have an animated ITV news video playing (like in the regions on the plasma) and display story pictures on there instead of the actual newswall.

Also the atrium is bigger, and looks better with the newsroom view at the back, and all windows have real images.

I find it interesting that on this page, ITN lists the lunchtime news as:
12:30pm The ITV Lunchtime News, with Nicholas Owen & Katie Derham/Nina Hossain

But then this page lists the Evening News as:
Mark Austin and Nina Hossain/Mary Nightingale
and the Lunchtime News as:
Nicholas Owen and Katie Derham.

I think the presenters page that shows Nina appearing on the Lunchtime News, Evening News and London Tonight is probably closest to the mark.

Obviously it has only been a week since the "re-launch" but it looks as if:
Katie will present the Lunchtime News and London Tonight for four days per week,
Mary will present the Evening News for three days per week (part-time?)
and Nina will present the Evening News on two days and the Lunchtime news on one.
