I hear set colour changes may be implemented in the regions that use the LED lighting.
Well thats a lie, because every ITV plc regional set, although not all LED, can all change their colours with a switch.

Plus I thought I read somewhere some regions are ran by very minimal amount of staff e.g between 5 or 10 at most.
Presenter, camera operator director? anything else?

Yeah they started earlier in the week ( discussed a few pages back
)
I see that Daybreak break bumpers have started.
Seemed to be just the Daybreak logo and the the sunflower field background.
EDIT: no it wasn't it was grass and it had the ITV1 HD logo centre bottom

Not true. I've seen some use lighting with coloured plasticy lenses that look like sweet wrappers.

Don't know about ITV - but some of the BBC Breakfast operations run with two people.
The presenter will produce, write (though much of what is required may have been written in readiness by the late team the night before), in some cases cut some pictures on their desktop, and do their autocue themselves. They may also switch on their own lighting - or the director may do this.
The director will drive the playout system - which in varying regions has differing levels of automation (from full automatic sound and vision mixing to entirely manual on a pres-like desk) - vision and sound mix, time the bulletin, prepare and playout graphics, frame the camera shot (either remotely or by framing and locking off).
In many BBC regions there may also be some people in working on the radio output and that may also mean there is an engineer available.
The BBC usually manage this by either having a second gallery (often in the graphics area) - or by having a main gallery that can be driven differently for different levels of output. Not sure if ITV do.
Certainly even in the mid-to-late 90s - the BBC used to do bulletins with fewer than 5 people (Presenter, Producer, Director, VT Operator - and the producer was partially working for News 24 in many cases)

Not true. I've seen some use lighting with coloured plasticy lenses that look like sweet wrappers.
Sets like Central and Tyne Tees/Border are pretty old and were designed with colour changers which have been used in the past. Regions with newer sets were made a bit more cheaply so use lighting gels for their colour.
Where they can indeed change colour, It can may well be pretty time consuming to change all the gels just for 3 short bulletins in the morning. Though I reckon purple sets may be more prettier than the current yellow so it would be nice if it were to be true.

I suspect you mean lighting gels. Until LED lighting arrived over the last 10 years almost all studio lights were effectively white light based, and you made them coloured by putting coloured filters, or gels, over them, which gave the light colour. (There were also dichroics which were much more saturated - but they are a bit more specialised - and expensive)
Most lamps had just a single gel - which you cut out from a sheet, mounted in a frame, and slid in front of the lamp. You got one colour - and if you wanted to change the colour, you had to change the gels.
If you used these sort of lamps and need multiple colours within a show - or if your studio does shows which needed different colours in different shows, you either put up more lamps - with some lamps one colour, others the other - which allow you to change the set colour by changing which lamps are on - or you physically swap gels.
LED lighting works by having a matrix of Red, Green and Blue LEDs in the lamp, and by sending data to the lamp (usually DMX data) you can control the brightness AND the colour of the lamp remotely. Most studios these days will run with LED lighting for colour unless there is a very good reason not to (they run cooler, take less energy, don't need dimmer racks, and don't need bulb replacements) - though they are more expensive to buy.

Just because purple is incorporated into the Logo, it doesn't mean the sets have to be purple or have purple lighting. Unless I have missed the confirmation of Purple theme across the Daybreak programme

ok then..I KNOW they're planning 2 min bulletins...1 min of news, then 1 min of travel + sponsored weather, standing up.
I hear I hear, does that mean I have made it up or i would like
