To an extent - apart from the farcical weekend situation - LT does have it's own presenters. Katie is now a fill in it seems on ITV, whilst Alastair has his mid-morning NC programme. But, in the scheme of things, those are their secondary jobs. Lest we forget Wills, Emma Walden, Liz Wickham, Ronke Phillips.


And Sharon Thomas, although I've only seen her once, with a report about Mel Gibson's movie.

Someone previously mentioned that ITV Weather was leaving the South Bank at the end of March.

Is this happening now? Are they moving to ITN?

I notice that the balcony next to the old London Tonight studio - where Sian Lloyd was interviewed - featured in Keir Simmons's rather apocalyptic report about flooding.

No surprise there. Now the terrorist hype has died down, we're not going to get blown up - we're going to be submerged in River Thames water and drown alive. Rolling Eyes

So glad that Ken Andrew hasn't resurfaced anywhere yet. I really don't like the chap.... not since I met him anyway Sad

No. Jonathan Wills is now a fill-in and daytime presenter.

Well they largely ignore sport as a whole now, chossing only to mention the big stories (Arsenal/Chelsea in the Champions League; Millwall in the FA Cup etc), whereas before they would have a full 5-10 minute round-up. A shame imo.
