"You're watching the award-winning ITV News Channel, the Pope has had an operation.......................we'll be back in a few minutes" [/quote]
Well no doubt there'll be endless promos congratulating themselves on the one story they managed to cover to a decent standard last year! How exactly can it be said that the actual channel is award winning if it was the correspondant who won the award? Suppose that is the strange world of the ITVNC!
