Wales Tonight had Jonathan Hill live at the DVLA in Swansea with Lucy Owen in the studio. Catharine Evan-Williams voiced a report.

It seems that Helen Callaghan was there for the ITV National News.

A bit of a different look for the GMTV Wales Morning News this morning, no backdrop and a weather presenter presenting the weather.
Wonder why that is?

The weather presenter being in early is probably due to the extreme weather, well, it's snowing in Cardiff this morning!

As to the lack of backdrop, maybe they use a recorded one and don't have one of the assembly covered in snow!

I noticed Charlie Neil did the weather forcast during GMTV Wales. I know a weather presenter always does the forcast in vision for the Central GMTV bulletins so maybe they just asked Charlie (who I assume is in Birmingham) to record one for Wales also due to the extreme weather conditions.

We had no snow where I am Sad

Yeah Charlie and Emma are always based at Brum, she was on GMTV this morning.

We had snow in my part of Notts, only a light dusting, the snow turned to sleet during the day. All melted now! Other parts of Notts had "blizzard" conditions! Laughing

Top story on the lunchtime bulletin was the heavy snow across South and West Wales. Apprently the forcasters got it wrong - I blame James Wright Wink (still we got sent home from the office at lunchtime so cant complain! Smile )

Lucy Owen presented today's lunchtime bulletin.

Surely it was Derek's fault? It must've been - he apologised at least three times for his massive cock-up already Shocked

As for the snow I blame Charlie , she was lording on CNW last night about being right but then said , "it'll be milder on Friday ". Wrong Charlie, and then her region had a load of snow fall on it. Embarassed
