I just saw Ruth Wignal do the weather (well about an hour ago on the 3pm bulletin) and it does look like she is pregnant again.

Lucy Owen presented the bulletin, and Catharine Evan Williams reported LIVE. Not seen Catharine behind the newsdesk in quite a while, she seems to be back to chief reporter again.

Ive just spotted former HTV News presenter/reporter Rob Smith reporting live on the ITV News Channel.

He looks even younger now than when he presented on HTV News!

Well in this week's thrilling Market Day, Mal promised us two new stalls -- and two new stalls is what we got.

Mind you I think they forgot about that new poncho stall over by the smoky faggot cafe.
*Note to tourists: do not go to this cafe.

Good god they sell some tat in that market. Absolutely nothing of interest happened again this week -- it should definitely be made into a daily soap on HTV, to be shown at, ooo say, 5pm.

Sadly no return for the welshy old dears who blatantly said they only went to look at the nice young men [steady Jez].

Next week: rats everywhere!

An almost identical programme to the one on BBC One at exactly the same time then?

Well I mean really, what is the point? Does Andrew do these himself -- they look v rubbish indeed.

And what's with John Parton [off of Presenters] going all cheesy and Pontins-esque. Extraordinary new accent/beard.

WT yesterday was presented all different and was rather good -- but it all went back to normal tonight, so perhaps then that's only for good news days.

Apparently the promo tells me this Cardiff tsunami thing will be shown on no less than *five* BBC Wales platforms this weekend -- clearly not wanting anyone to miss it, but mind you I've no idea if/how BBC England are covering it.

Sally Johnson presented the GMTV Wales bulletins this Morning, and her graphics are *much* better.

Facinating information Confused but this is NOT a replacement for the old Wales Thread, this is for discussion of ITV Wales News .

Ex-HTV News presenter/reporter Stuart Mcteer has now turned up on the ITV News Channel.

Is this the logical step for presenters to end up at ITN in London?

Tonights ITV Wales News, with lucy and Jon, came from the very small studio normally used for GMTV and weekend bulletins, this was apparently due to technical difficulties in the main studio.

Well Pancake day was covered by ITV Wales, on the ITV Wales News Marie-Claire Carey-Jones visited the school which my nephew and niece attend in Neath Port Talbot.

Also on the Ferret tonight Sarah Hibbard was looking forward to her pancakes - btw is Chris Perry a regular reporter/presenter on The Ferret now?
