News Bloopers

Well done to the BBC News at One for managing to spell George Entwistle's name wrong today, on a huge graphic behind Sophie Raworth. He's only the new BBC Director General, after all.

BBC and ITV Regional News

I don't think it'd be that silly to have it still called 'HTV News'. If they re-arranged the logo/titles to something like "HTV News" with a small "from ITV" or "from ITV News" underneath, it'd look alright.

I actually think it looks really good. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of the BBC News look, but I always think whenever it appears how much smarter than the news set it looks.
