London Weekend Weather now has the bmibaby sponsorship as seen in other regions, rather than the previous bmi sponsorship.


Just out of interest how on earth do they say that mouthful, as they have to say Weekend don't they?


another mouthful - edf energy weekend workout! couldn't they have just put edfenergy.com/weekendworkout rather than edfenergyweekendworkout.com - the presenters always look like they're going to explode! Laughing

Who does the v/o for the weather during the LT summary at 10.55? Her voice sounds familiar...


Its the same presenter who does the GMTV Bulletins that morning i.e the ITV Morning News presenter aswell.


Chrissie Reidy voiced it this morning.

Did LNN had the channel on Sky and ITV Digital years ago?

Does anyone know when Ken Andrew left London Tonight, and what he's doing now?

He left at the time of the LNN/ITN handover last year. No idea what he did next.

What would happen to people like Lucy Alexander and Anna-Marie Ashe? Would they continue to present London News? I actually prefer Katie Derham to Mary Nightingale, but Katie should stick to national news programmes as she is very good.


To be honest I prefer Katie Derham as a newsreader than Mary Nightingale, as she always sounds like she's going to cry, plus Katie and Mark make a good team on the Evening News. Though I guess this isn't the first time that a popular national reader will go to regional news, such as Alastair Stewart (ITN to LNN) and Philip Hayton (Main BBC News to North West Tonight)


While we're on the topic of decent presenters for LNN - has anyone got any preferences about other 'regional' ITV presenters who perhaps should be making their way into the nationals? Always interesting to see if we can predict the next Nina Hossein or Karin Gianone.

The last I heard he was living with three wives and a donkey on a hippy commune somewhere in the Andes having tired of the champagne lifestyle and shallow nature of showbiz reporting.

and what of the lovely Anna Maria Ashe... who should SO be anchoring a national bulletin - she'd be perfect for the weekends
