ITV London Tonight

I think it's the CNE studio, since they were evicted a few weeks ago for that Steve Scott programme. CNE is currently in the spare studio/meeting room.

Full OB with both presenters on location at Kids Company in Camberwell tonight

It is Central News West, the plasma's are Panasonic (Black) in CNW , They are JVC (Silver) in CNE

I see that London Today is coming from the usual studio today rather than using the national newsreader/studio. Has it moved back permanently I wonder..

No, not permanent. For this week only I'm afraid. London News has adopted Avid technology from today. ITV National News follows suit from Saturday.

What is Avid technology if I may ask?

It's a server-based editing and playout system.

Interesting.
I saw a shot of the newsroom on today's London Tonight and all the desks appear to have new dual-monitor Dell PCs. Is it possible to edit from any one of those? (I would guess they're all connected to gigabit Ethernet switches).

Hopefully the hardware performance doesn't prove too frustrating; I wanted to buy my last company provided Dell laptop so that I could throw it into a wood chipper .

In newsrooms you don't normally edit full resolution video. Modern systems produce a low resolution 'browse' copy of everything which is used for viewing and editing in the newsroom and other production offices.

Special 'race for mayor' titles tonight:

So are there any onscreen changes?

So what was all that about with Russell Brand and the old London Tonight theme music?

Is Russell Brand a secret pres fan?! Maybe he posts here...
