They won't replace the VR set as it is, but what they probably will do at some stage, and should do soon, is to create some virtual sets for the various programmes. I would suggest that the Lunchtime News has one virtual set, the Evening News a different one, because the programmes have different agendas and different audiences. You could keep a modified version of the Theatre of News for the Weekend bulletins and the weekday summaries, and give the Overnight summaries and Morning News a consistent look too. It's easy to do with a Virtual Studio system.
They should probably change the desk too.

I think for me now the ITV News set needs a new look.
Since 2004, we have had the basic set design of the curved newswall and desk in the middle and even though they changed the backdrop from the terrible cold blue to a newsroom/atrium backdrop in 2006, I think ITV News needs a brand new look for 2009.
News at Ten looks excellent and has a nice warm nightime feel to it, very similar to the News at Ten 1988-1992.
But the other bulletins need a new look. I know they probably spend over a million on the so called "theatre of news" but now since ITV News has adopted a more sit-down approach to presenting bulletins, why then have a newswall and platform. They only stand up for the first couple of minutes of the bulletins.
I would like to see a new look as it will be five years with the same set in February 2009.
