In the Wales version of the Radio Times it has ITV Wales News down for the main 6pm programme, but for some of the smaller bulletins they just list it as "Wales News".


Oh good -- does that mean we can talk about the BBC in here again, young Jez?

Well I dont like the BBC, but i'll consider your request.

Btw Tara presented todays lunchtime bulletin and Lucy and Tara both presented the 6pm bulletin.

I see Mark Austin is in Anglesey tonight for the ITV Evening News.

Well perhaps you could raise it with your union -- they may request an additional rise in payment of penguins, I'd hate to see you out of pocket.

We would, however, request a rebranding of your product.

I will do, but could I ask you to be a little patient.

I don't know if my telly has been retuned tonight - but - ever since the ITV Wales News I am receiving ITV1 (non-Wales) idents and announcements. More annoyingly it is someone Scottish talking!

Zoe Thomas presented the late bulletin tonight. I hope she presents over the weekend again this week.

Well after the first week of the new extended ITV Wales Lunchtime bulletin I think overall the change has been for the better. Its good they have a longer bulletin for lunchtime rather than rush through all the storys in the 6 or so minutes we got before and then go and repeat exactly the same storys again at 3pm. And the longer slot allows storys to be covered in more depth, and they appear to be having more guests in the studio than normal as well.

Big cat on the loose in Wales again, this time in Cwmbran.

I wonder if Catharine Evan Williams will cover this story again?

Latest on the big cat story - if you spot it do not approach this animal! Shocked

Justina Simpson presented the late bulletin tonight. Very Happy

Well never mind big cats, one-day-a-week-if-you're-lucky Ruth Wignall is the size of a small house now and allegedly she's off to have her baby.

I insist this means that Su Evans comes back tomorrow for another summer of knitwear.

Otherwise my fatwa on this thread will continue.

Well really, is there any point? Ruth as you say only does 1 or 2 shifts a week at the most so they would probabaly give Charlie/Emma the extra work until Ruth returns. They havent bothered to replace that bloke (the one who im sure owan now remembers the name of) so there have clearly been cut backs.

Im not changing the name of this thread to "ITV Wales News & BBC Wales Today" - i cant think of a single reason why I should. Confused
