so that means mid - july then
I think the Youtube account was also going to launch at he same time too.
Hopefully it will be a better looking website - although I can imagine that it'll end up being very similar to what there's now with more pages and actual news on there.
IIRC I think the website is being made by ITN themselves rather than getting the people who have done the Corrie, x factor sites - IIRC called dubz or somethink simlar. Whne they do them themselves they always look not to great - when they get someone else the sites always look better!
These were ITN pix - from about 4 separate locations. The reason only 3-4 minutes were shown, is because the bulletin had to be off air by a certain time for scheduling reasons. I think 3-4 minutes was ample though?
so if these were ITN pix - surely they could have shown the film 5 minutes later, it's not as though whatever afterwards had to be on at 12:05 rather than 12:10 - seems a bit stupid to me !
I don't think it's about rights or scheduling - it's just that fireworks on TV soon get very repetitive, and if you've seen the first few minutes (especially of London's pathetic efforts), you've seen it all. Indeed I bet many people wait for Big Ben to chime, say Happy New Year and then head straight to bed!
I do understand what you mean and especially the London's pathetic effort this year , but I still think the last 2/3 minutes should have been shown.
The new ITV NEWS site SHOULD lauch next week with a new tonight website coinciding. Fingers crossed everyone

what i don't get is if they can show 3/4 minutes - then why not all ( except if it's BBC pictures - even though surely they could of shared them!) it not as though it would harm the BBC viewing figures - most will tune in to BBC1 by default!
