ITV Wales News & Wales Tonight

yes, there will be quite a big surprise but keep it underwraps until tomorrow night.

do you know what it is

i've heard a big signing from BBC wales

Actually, I wonder who it could be.

Who do we know at BBC Wales who would be likely to jump-ship?

Sara: Unlikely. She's been on Wales Today since the mid-1980s

Jamie: Lord Owen of Llandaff towers. Not a chance. BBC Wales gives him too good-a-life for him to jump.

Bob: Unlikely. The BBC is in his family blood.

Jayne Case/James: Maybe she fancies a change from doing the early-mornings on Breakfast.

Claire Summers: Possibly! Maybe sweet little Claire has had enough of living in Jamie & Sara's shadow!

Derek Brockway.

i've heard the new person is not from bbc wales but a welsh person on BBc network

... around an hour and half later


Make your mind up, and was that BB c a clue? Ben Brown mabey, he went to Cardiff for his journalism studies. If there is a new high-profile presenter its more likley to be a woman, Lucy will be going national (or on the NC perminatly) in the not to disstant future. I think they are going to replace her with another female.

Preferably one who hasn't had her voice elocuted beyond recognition in a patronising attempt to drop her Welsh accent.

ITV Wales press release:

I've got to say that Wales Tonight has been well advertised I've heard it all day today on my local news station 'RADIO CARMARTHENSHIRE'
I have now heard it on Real Radio.

Everytime I have watched ITV1 today the announcer has been plugging the 'relaunch of the flagship programme'

I noticed the back-drop on BBC Wales news has changed today!

Slightly updated graphics, no new titles or title music, studio lookes badly constructed and the layed out also looks wrong with the camera angles.
Do not like the way Johnathan is resting his arm on the back sofa, he looks very uncomfortable and so dose Lucy leaning forward and thats just in the five or so mins i have seen, bring back a proper desk of some sort.

Not such a great relaunch after all.
