Mark Austen did well for ITV's main evening news - based in Trafalgar Square with a lovely iconic backgroud of London:

Luckily it started just after he signed off.
There was a lovely warm evening glow in the sky for most of the broadcast.

It looked a bit stupid tonight because the graphics were designed for the news channel, but ITV1 weren't broadcasting the news channel's graphics.

They've been using them I think throughout the day. Prehaps reserved for more sombre occassions?

I guess most BBC Local Radio were doing news updates every 15 minutes.

WM took feeds from both N24 & BBC (Radio) London's Jon Gaunt.

The Gaunt feed was one way listening, ie we could hear him, but he couldn't hear WM ! (He was told later, as he mentioned it in an interview with Franksy later!)

That suit Jon Snow is wearing is very frumpy - bland colour and looks two sizes too big for him.
