It's dreadful, isn't it?

um wow. It so sad to see creatively and production-wise how....frankly dreadful this broadcast is. Not saying it needs flares going off and swirling cams and stuff. But this almost feels like a placeholder, stop-gap broadcast. There is simply no life to it all. The set, the pacing, the barely-there theme. Everything is sorta clunky and disjointed. They will never top their launch format for freshness and innovation and standing out from whats being offered elsewhere in evening newscasts. Ch5 continues to, IMO, waste their great talent and reporting in a tired and cheap looking package. SMH.

It's highly unlikely they'll stay at N&S long term.
Well I heard a rumour a while ago that it may well move back to ITN's HQ at Gray's Inn Road eventually. So it may well be a placeholder until that happens. Don't hold me to this, though, as these things are never 100% certain!

Well Channel 5 has treated it as nothing more than a legal requirement for a while now. I expect if it weren't part of their operators license they'd ditch the News pretty quickly - if I was to put money on it I'd say that they stopped giving a sh*t about it around the time they bought in Live from Studio Five.

You could make the same point about any PSB requirement (not just on commercial TV).
Live From Studio Five was atrocious, but Northern and Shell and particularly Viacom have treated 'news' with more respect than RTL did back then. And the ITN version of 5 News is more credible now than the very frothy bulletin it became at Sky.

The same Northern & Shell that inflicted OK! TV on us with Kate Walsh.

True. But I'm sure OKTV was a purely 'entertainment' show and not cynically designed to count towards C5's 'news' output like Studio 5 was
