I think it may have just been a late weekend bulletin or two. One of those silly 11.30pm/11.45pm bulletins...
Charlene did some evening bulletins last Christmas IIRC

When the ITV News channel existed was GMTV Simulcast on the channel or did a breakfast show of its own air?

They did their own thing - in fact Scott Chisholm (ex Sky News/Channel 5 News) joined a few weeks before the channel's closure to present the breakfast show - only for the closure to be announced a week later.

Correct, the only time they ever simulcasted GMTV on the ITVNC was during the early days of the Iraq war, but as it went on they got dropped, I do recall a GMTV simulcast ending at about 7.30am or so when GMTV went onto the fluffier stuff. Remember when GMTV blocked the ITVNC during 6 and 9.25am on DTT? That was pathetic.
They didn't begin till 7am though - they replaced the 5.30 edition of the Morning News in the 6am hour.

Am I the only one who refuses to watch ITV News when James Mates is presenting? I cannot stand the man and I wish they wouldn't let him into the studio.
DF
I wouldn't go as far as refusing to watch but I would agree there are far better presenters.

I think he's an excellent presenter and it's refreshing to see someone other than MA and AS on for a full week.

I agree. I think he's got a certain way about him. His voice and delivery are excellent too.
