The last, late, weeknight news from the current studio is at 11pm. I thought they could have had a last NaT on Friday to put the final nail in the coffin. Listings only go to Sat, 30th, we'll have to wait until Tuesday to see if the new name is revealed in the listings.

Where was the election studio in the ITN Centre?

In the basement - at the bottom of the atrium, right by what was then the LBC/News Direct/IRN studio complex.

So if you were to walk in that day you would see staright away a studio in the main entrance! Did they put a fake ceiling in too as the ITN centre is about 15 stories high. did they?

No - because the basement is below ground level Rolling Eyes

And 200 Gray's Inn Road is not 15 storeys high.

Was studio 4 used for NaT during the nineties, because it used the shots of the newsroom into the break, and also the one with the map on the wall behind the presenter.

Just a question. Is Chris Rogers now permanent at ITV News?

Yes - he stopped doing Sky News overnights at least six months ago, after a brief overlap when he was doing both.

Yeah, i was wondering whether he still did those as well. He's one of their best newsreaders IMO, and should play a big part when it relaunches nex month.

I hope that one of the main things that they do is have dual anchoring.

Perhaps what may be a good idea is instead of having the anchor saying what's coming up on the news channel, if they are sharing the studio have the news channel (or one of hopefully) pop into the studio and say what's coming up.

ITV has today confirmed that its late evening news bulletin will move to 10.30pm from Monday February 2, finally bringing down the curtain on News at Ten.

Quote:
The broadcaster began promoting the bulletin's move to 10.30pm on billboards around London today.

This advertising campaign confirms what rivals broadcasters believed would be the timing of the change.

ITV is expected to officially schedule the new slot for its late evening news bulletin in the billings it exchanges with other networks on Wednesday for the week beginning Saturday January 31.


That is from the Guardian Website, so what we knew is now Official.
