They could easily fit in an announcement over the main part of the titles after the first bar of the theme (the familar bit!) - just "ITV News with Mark Austin and Nina what's her name" would be sufficient and wouldn't interupt the flow of the titles.

Or possibly at the end where the 'ITV News' logo forms up, although now it would look like it was just dubbed on afterwards. They should've used the voiceover on the News Channel as well, can you imagine something "The ITV News Channel with Phil Gayle"

The best announcements in my opinion were always on a Saturday teatime when you got something like "The ITV Weekend News and Sport with Bill Neely and Felicity Barr". And when the voiceover bloke recorded new names they'd never fit exact, a bit like railway station announcements

Depends how much time there is. Since the closing titles have been brought in (July) he's had to cut it short, because the first few bars are quite loud and make him slightly inaudible.

Is Mike Neville is the person that used to do the announcements until this relaunch,
or is he one of the ITV1 announcers?
If he's the old ITV News announcer, where did they fit an announcement into the current titles?
The only way that I can imagine them doing it would be to add a longer piece of music to the 
sting so the music continues with a fade into the studio.

So when will Nina first present the 3pm hour on the News Channel? Next Monday?

It was Mark Austin and Heather McCarthy today.

Well he's only been the North East's favourite news reader for say... 40 years and possibly the most well known regional presenter in the North. Nothing to write home about, I'm sure... Laughing

Ironically Tyne Tees had an ITV1 Tyne Tees ident at 6pm - it's been well over 6 months since we've seen that (and no mention of the Tyne Tees name at 6pm since 2002)! No mention of the Evening News at all, just what's on later followed by "Good evening and welcome to ITV1, where it's time for North East Tonight, with Mike Neville".

How about having the Evening News presenters names appear in text form below the ITV News logo, like the News Channel do.
