Well I thought that the daytime bulletins today were rather poor, though that may be to do with the technical problems mentioned above.
I was impressed that the 10.55 bulletin had two lives, but they were both repeated at 12.50 and 3pm, and not much else had changed - all the bulletins have had the same stories and pictures but in a different order.
But I guess we shall see what else they pull out of the hat at 6

Have to say, no matter how good everything is I don't think London Today and London Tonight will be the same with Paul Greene, Anna Maria-Ashe and Jonathan Gould. Especially Paul Greene, why make Jonathan Wills and Rachel McTavish do them when she should be presenting overnight and he should be reporting and presenting Sport. Great shame, seeing as he's been there so long and was a very good presenter.
Yes I do have to question the wisdom behind having an overnight presenter doing morning regional bulletins. Admittedly the reasoning behind this has to be financial, but there was surely nothing wrong with having one person do 6.00 - 13.00 and the other two doing 15.00 - 23.00. Now we have the five presenters in one day.
Looking forward to the main edition tonight though.
Looking good so far. The studio's a lot more warm and enclosed than the old one. And the backdrop's looks as real as the last one (maybe because it is!).
Its about bloody time London Today did something to their studio!
I swear I cant remember there being any changes made since Carlton took over from Thames, and London Tonight was launched...
You'd rather they had some sort of vile 90s monstrosity like the above than a news studio with undoubtedly one of the best studio-views of a city anywhere in the world?
I think the new one looks like a really cheap mix between old LNN, new ITV, and Meridian 1993.
I really hope GMTV take the initiative and move into the old LNN studio.
And the backdrop's looks as real as the last one (maybe because it is!).
I think you've missed a slightly fundamental point here... they have moved. The studio is nowhere near the river.
I'm aware of that. But the backdrop remains real.
O...K... so they've put the city in a glass case or something? What are you saying? To me, you're saying the backdrop is a window: "The backdrop looks as real as the last one (maybe because it is!)".
