What happened to

"New line-up


ITV TYNE Tees has announced a new line-up of presenters for its North-East Tonight news programme.
From September, viewers in Durham, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland will see a programme hosted by Jonathan Morrell and Philippa Tomson.

Tees Valley viewers will see Pam Royle and Ian Payne host the 6pm show. Weatherman Bob Johnson will feature on both."

Oh my god - and Ian's doing the Sport!!

I think it looked messy, maybes someone's thrown a sicky?

I agree. What happened to Philippa?

Good question, I hadn't even heard anything about the 'new line up' until I saw it on here, I looked on the ic website as someone in the thread said it was announced on there, but still can't find it...

I am really dissapointed i mean Pam Royle is a good presenter but i'd like someone new. With Jonathon not Ian Payne,

I like Pam, I think her and Jonathan have a good rapport with each other, but agree it would be nice to see a new face.

Also North East Tonight is a decade old this week, they should give it a mention I think.

They've probably forgotten.

True, it was the same week they unleashed that awful golden 3 at us, and forgetting that can be well and truly forgiven!

Didn't Phillipa just finish with Central on Friday. I suppose it wasnt likely she'd finish in Brum on the Friday and pop up in Gateshead monday. Thought Ian Payne did quite well during the serious news.

So do you think tonights presenter line ups are tempory?
Ian Payne and Pam Royle are both excellent presenters. I'd prefer someone new from Pam, and nice to see Ian on the news but he did both news and sport. Which looked rather stupid in my opinion.

well Jonathan Morrell is taking over mid-mornings at Centrury FM soon, so perhaps he's taking some holidays before then, hence Ian doing both news and sport.
