I was watching the ITV Weekend News and Sport just a minute ago and I thought that it was incredibly rushed no opening titles and about a 2 second ending sting. Who thinks ITN's coverage on ITV is going down hill?

I saw that too - it was really weird, and the 'ITV Weekend News and Sport' title looked stupid along the top of the studio, as it was far too long!

Yes it was like that last week as well. Only the Saturday teatime edition though.
I think it is because the bulletin no longer contains football results and due to the longer regional news before it.
