Yes I was wondering why it was Wales Tonight at 4pm. Wouldn't it make more sense just to stay with Wales News?

I suppose they have to call it Wales Tonight because its the flagship bulletin of the day (saying that all bulletins were called ITV Wales News until 6 months ago!)

I noticed we had a longer than usual recap of the regional headlines during the ITV Evening News.

Justina is presenting tonight!

The longer Regional recap has been on during the ITV Evening News whenever the ITV Local News (in your case Wales Tonight) has been on at 4pm.

Every Region having the same thing with Meridian Tonight, London Tonight etc all being beamed out at 4pm, though it's not technically correct, I think it's just there to tell the Viewers it's the normal Regional News despite the time.

Now since she's only been on radio wales in recent years , i was wondering if she's left the bbc or is she freelancing around and serving both newses now.

Thanks, it'll be interesting to see how she does in her move over into politics.
It has worked for some journalists in the past.
