The Newsroom

ITV Regional News becoming more local?

Daybreak & lunchtime news for the West & Westcountry is now LOCAL (again)! (September 2011)

This site closed in March 2021 and is now a read-only archive

Well Meridian for example has the same video summary of it's news on both east and west websites in the morning. The video though is usually four minutes long, with the Daybreak bulletins including travel and being 2 minutes long it would be nice for Meridian to do the same thing as Westcountry.

I don't know why they didn't just do this in the first place. It surely can't cost much to do can it?


No the same presenter just can record a similarish bulletin before hand etc.

There'll be a bit more to it than that, remember the presenter is just one aspect of a news bulletin. Presumably there's extra work in preparing/writing 2 seperate bulletins and maybe an extra pair of hands needed to ensure the recorded one goes out

Hopefully this can be extended across to others of the country, and possibly to the weekend as well
