Has the Regional News came back after the 11.25 bulletin during This Morning? Its just went to STV News straight after the bulletin.

Presumably STV replaced the regional weather to bring a special news bulletin, I'm guessing about the first televised courtroom sentacing?

Ah right enough, didn't even think about that....

Why is there never any consistency with the quality of graphics on ITV News these days? Watching NAT, certain graphics within reports look well designed and professional, while others just look plain shoddy and tabloid headline-esque (those used during the Breivik report). Is there any reason for this lack of "cohesion"...?

Well, I know several years ago some editing software called Avid was introduced. A lot of staff were trained to use it and I think the idea was that reporters could design and edit their own graphics. I suspect that has a lot to do with the inconsistency between reports.

The 'ITV News' graphic on the bottom left during the opening headlines has gotten really blurry recently. Think it all started getting blurry after that power outage not that long ago.

It is also cutting away from screen a lot more obviously, the yellow panel transition has been taken away which means that it hasn't got anything to transition into the sting discretely.

The end shot appeared to have issues also, pulling back and the black part of the desk started to 'sparkle' somewhat as well as James Mates' head.

No it was Mark and Mary. Suggestions on twitter that Mark took the evening off to go and watch Chelsea/Barcelona.
