ITV London Tonight

Bring back Nina!

Yawn!

I'm glad that Katie is back, (she has been away for far too long).

I think Nina was better on the Beeb, possibly because she was largely presenting on her own.

There is too much blue in the London News Studio. It should be teal or dark teal...

I expect we will see Nina presenting London Tonight before long. Hopefully now she is taking a well deserved break,she has been on almost every week (bar 1) since November 2004.

Hello FORUMERS !,

Why does the weather on ITV 1 London Today / Tonight not have a Jingle to accompany the Weather Sting like the rest of the Regional ITV News Programmes Have ?.

Also why does the music played along with the Titles not seem to run alongside the Titles at the correct speed ?, Seems to be out of sync if you know what i mean, this doesn't happen on other Regional ITV News Titles, Well not in my area anyway.

It's been like that for the past year or so.

My guess is London is linked to the ITV News Channel, which used to use the weather sting without sound (I think).

Most the regions used a different weather sting initially with the sound, then replace it with the graphics from the News Channel but kept the sound I guess.

I assume that Leyla Daybelge is one of ITN's casualties? I haven't seen her on ITV London since the closure - there simply appears to be no room for her now.

She did do the London lunchtime bulletin early in the New Year - but I guess they were still working to pre-NC closure rosters at that stage.

FWIW, it's been Jonathan WIlls and Ben Scotchbrook on the lunchtime bulletins all this week.

Susan Bookbinder with today's bulletins.

The Sunday London News shift seems to be the last refuge of the old pool of News Channel freelancers.

Im no expert but surely ITV london risk alienating viewers without a regime of familair faces presenting dedicated spots/updates throughout the day...Using freelancers constantly at the weekends is highly innapropriate IMO..at least use the same freelancers in the same spot every week as best as possible ITV!!

And Leyla Daybelge is back with today's Lunchtime bulletin
