Don't they always use the faded blue for the bottom line when only one line is needed?

I'm not too sure, the ITV News Channel has only just restarted working where I live as of the start of this week approximatly.

It's really strange seeing Feargal Keane reporting from the streets of London.

The Channel Isles have taken an unusual stance in actually having an in-vision continuity announcement saying that they will be talking about the London disaster at 7:30. They also did a live announcement over a Channel ident which they haven't done in years either.

Today showed the Hutton effect on the BBC. They want to make sure facts are checked, checked and checked again before they announce anything. That's why they are rubbish compared to Sky with rolling news. It's only when they have a chance to collect their thoughts with the one, six and ten o'clock news that they do good reporting.

Plus a good example of what happens what you change from 4:3 but don't go the full way to widescreen and 16:9.
