Yesterday -Wednesday- saw the best gmtv bulletins ever on itv wales. All 3 had just an empty chair. I was knocked out by this new minimalist treatment of news presentation and can only wonder if the other regions will copy this ground breaking approach. The best news yet !
( p.s. isp has been down for 2 days, thus only able to post today )

EDIT : The whole network appears to have adopted this stunning new presentation see latest threads !

Ive missed the GMTV Wales bulletins this week due to not having to be up early. Wonder whats happened to Andrew Jones?

I was only just thinking that the bulletins on Wed. were far better than when Mr. Jones does them. Very Happy

Was it an empty chair in a darkened studio or was there lighting?

A blank screen would be better than him doing them Wink

Ive noticed Almeena Ahmed has been doing the late bulletins a lot recently, she is really very good and they should use her more.

Sorry , bit of dramatic licence by me there - actually screen was black with a little logo for the first and a back soon for subsequent bulletins. It sounds better when you say " empty chair " and I was hoping someone would mention Mr. Jones ( Jez didn't disappoint ) to have a little joke at his expense. Andrew seems to get a lot of stick on here but, actually, I quite like him...... Wink

She's a big girl , with an irritatingly squeaky voice which doesnt match her frame. Good to see a newish face on their news.

LOL! She does have an odd voice. But there is something I like about her but I cant put my finger on it. Smile She is very friendly and enthusiastic when she says goodbye to us.

She is much better than the likes of Andrew Jones and Sorrell Neil who annoy me.

Justina is my favourite, and im also liking John Paul a lot at the moment. Wish they would make their mind up if he is news or sports presenter though.

Hmmm... obviously they need to get James Wright to present some bulletins, like he does on CNE occasionally Wink

James has never done the news for ITV Wales - he is too associated with the weather forcast apparently - not that that stopped Ruth Wignall who for a while did the weather and also read the occasional news bulletin.

James Wright has been doing the weather forcast this week. Wink Emma Jesson presented today's forcast though.
