South Bank is what I meant... so therefore ITN have little if anything to do with GMTV?

ITN supplies GMTV with satellite uplinks, camera crews and other technical facilities for its news operation.

The ITV NC has used some of GMTV's Correspondents before - normally in the morning

I feel sorry for Kevin Owen. He's just done 7 hours with Juliette Foster, and now he's on his own for the overnight shift. That would be a 13 hour shift, a marathon by anybody's standards.

They seem to have changed the shift pattern at weekends, with the overnight presenter now starting later.

Yeah, I was watching the 1am hour, which looked suspiciously samey to the previous hour. Sky News don't usually record their overnight bulletins so there must have been a staffing issue.

Mind you, to have done 8 hours on air non-stop, is still a marathon.

What is the longest ever news broadcast with the same presenter.
