Also, the presenter profiles are no longer linked from the main site, but they're still there and may be of interest

Well, if I've learnt nothing else from reading that profile, I've discovered 'psephology', which apparently is the the statistical study of elections!

Just seen the promo for the new look LT with Alastair,Katie,Joyce and Phil (presenting The Week on Sundays.) the set looks good but i prefer the old one with the view of St Pauls etc .

Almost tempting to put an 'LWT' logo somewhere on that picture

With Anna Maria Ashe no less, does she normally do Sundays?

It'd be nice if they did a long sweeping camera shot going past the desk at the end, preferably using the pre-February music

They had a London News Network "1992-2004" endcap and a "firm goodbye" from Anna Maria.

Nice ending, seems Anna won't be moving over.

Strange they ended it with 'London News Network 1992 - 2004' when of course they launched in 1993 (albeit on 1/1/93)

Anna Maria was at LWT News for a couple of years before the launch of LNN

I'm sure I remember her on the 6 O'Clock Show also -- she's always reminded me of the weekend, and I much preferred her to Fiona Foster in honesty. LWT Weather later on usually meant Femi Oke as well, which was also a good thing.

"A firm goodbye from me" -- how very sad.

Anna Maria Ashe was on LWT News, so she probbaly popped up on some of teh later 6 O Clock show clones - Friday Live and 6 O Clock Live. She wouldn't have been there for the 6 O Clock Show

I felt realy sorry for Anna Maria Ashe saying her "Firm Goodbye" she is far better than Katie Derham .

Anna Maria is one of those women who improves looks wise as she gets older i remember when she was at Grampian 20 yrs ago she looked far older than she does now she used to have long dark hair which did nothing for her .

So I wonder (if she has left) where she'll go from here? I would have kept her for Fridays and weekends at least.

Sorry yes, I meant 6 O'Clock Live. I'm not sure then what the 6 O'Clock Show was, I only moved to London in 1991. Never really took to that Jeni Barnett though.

Here's that endcap anyway, making up for my mistake
