From memory Channel News/Channel Report got their current look back in Early 2000.

Why is this topic entitled ITV1 Regional News, but then has a poll with only the 3 Central regions as options.

This looks like the work of MDR. Laughing

That's because they're the only important ones.
No comparison whatsoever.....

The daftest looking HTV News in Wales has to be the one they had before with the floating HTV over the yellow background. I never got what all that was about.


Do you mean this one

Yeah, those are the ones Jez. Having said what I said, the image looks great!

Sorry Square Eyes. I called it ITV1 Regional News for the question about which has the oldest titles. I added the poll coz I've never done one before. I couldn't add all the regions anyway.

Sorry about the above... I've not quite worked out how the quote thing works!

The best Central News??? Has to be the East Midlands edition. I do like that Marie Ashby. Nice caring personality me thinks. Love the music and titles too. I know many don't, but I do... and made sure the editor knew!

CN West is me next fave. Not so keen on the titles/music, but Jo and Llew make the show sexy.

CN South. Sorry boring_user_name, but I'm not so keen. Hannah is just terrible in my opinion and I do stress that this is only my opinion, I know many love her. The titles and music, hmm. Please give me your abuse, you CN South lovers.

Me fave regional news prog overall, has to be WESTCOUNTRY NEWS. I don't know the name of the reporter who normally has reports at the end of Westcountry Live (hate to say this, she's the larger looking lady), but I think she's a darlin.

I have to agree with boring_user_name. Central News South IS the best of the three Central regions

Wes and Hannah are an odd pair, very different but I think their partnership works well enough. Both are professional: Wes caters for the older viewers with his experience and bloke-next-door appeal where as Hannah is a bit of eye candy for the younger viewers and is great with feature type things.

Also like their titles - very modern and catchy.

I get to see it when I visit friends in Monmouth in Wales would you believe. I wonder if they know most people in the area and beyond actually receive telly from Central because they never cover us...shame really.

Ive seen Central News East a few years back with Marie Ashby and Lisa Foden and thought it was very good. I go to visit my brother very occasionally in Hereford and see Central News there - I think its Central South that covers Hereford?

Yeah, me thinks CN South covers Hereford. We never hear stories from Hereford on CN West.

When did CN South last get a new look??? Only with friendly man saying it looks modern and catchy, makes me wonder if it's changed since i last saw it. Have they still got the titles featuring the person being rushed into hospital? Confused

Indeed.

I came here because of the thread title and found I'd been totally misled.

How about changing the title then, Reuben?
