She was really good but no one in the tyne tees region, at least, would know who she was. She didn't get one name check. and N.E Tonight just handed over to London without saying who was presenting! Its times like this when i think ITV should get the old announcements back, ' The ITV Evening News with...'

Neither did Lookaround. Ironic considering she used to be with Border TV.

Nothing ironic about it. I can't remember the last time any ITV announcer namechecked a newsreader (except perhaps before the Lunchtime News).

What ? I'm confused. What I meant is, she used to be a Border News newsreader, and I thought it odd that they ( Tim and Fiona ) didn't recognise that.

Yes, but the regional presenters usually namecheck the Evening News presenters.

And the weekend newsreaders are often namechecked by the announcers.

She was name checked in my region. Are you sure your region wasn't just a bit tight for time at the end.

And Trevor was name checked by the announcer tonight

Well Lookaround usually namecheck, but didn't tonight. It's just odd that they didn't do it when a new presenter starts. Although she was at Border TV, I doubt anyone would remember her.

She was name checked on Central News with Bob and Llew, although Llew slightly hesitated over her surname

I remember back in 1999, when the announcement was "From the studios of ITN, the ITV Early Evening News with..." and the title of the edition was projected onto the ceiling. A lot better, as now every bulletin is just ITV News on screen.

Just to confirm, is the studio really the ITN news studio now or ITV news studios?

It'd be ITN wouldn't it, as it's located in Gray's Inn Road - the ITN headquarters.

I used to like the old intro anno - it was great when they had two presenters on with long names, e.g. "From the studios of ITN, the ITV Evening News with Dermot Murnaghan and Marty Nightingale"...it almost finished after the music did!
