Linda Bryans on ITV News Channel

Forgive me if this has been posted already i have checked but couldn't find it .

Linda Bryans from UTV Live is reading the news on the ITV News Channel .I have seen the girl from ITV Wales or West there too is this a new thing and are Presenters from other regions going to be doing the same thing ?.

Lynda's been doing occasional weekends on the News Channel for at least a year.

It's a bit of a regional news presenter fest today though, with Jonathan Morrell from Tyne Tees and Lucy Owen from ITV Wales appearing on the channel, as well as UTV's Lynda.

They've been using regional people at weekends and during holiday peiods for a long time.

Granada's So Rahman pops up from time to time, and Westcountry's Jemma Woodman has presented at Christmas for the past two years.

edit - Jonathan Morrell is presenting London Tonight too (albeit not for the first time)

I think it's a realy good idea i remember back in 82 i think it was that BBC News afternoon used to use some regional presenters .It was kind of funny seeing Jane Franchi from BBC RPS sitting with Richard Whitmore.
