The LNN have had loads of people come & go only three have been there since 1993 Paul Green who does the bullitens & sometimes fills in for Alistar Stewart at 6, Alistar Stewart who usually only does the 6 pm show & Anna Maria Ash who dates back from the days of LWT news & seems to be on lunchtimes & Fridays-Sundays, Out of reporters well Graham Miller who does the sport used to work for Thames News & Ken Andrew who does showbiz & does Big Screen X Certificate & keeps going on about inflateable Brest Jordan (Please no sex comments so that this thread gets shut down like a few have in the past). Other than that they keep swithching around although I have to sya that London Tonight is the only good thing Carlton bough to London

Yes, I haven't seen that much of London Tonight or Newsroom South East living here in Yorkshire but which is preferred in London? London Tonight seems to be better on the times that I have seen it...

London Tonight is better than NSE but they sometimes do stupid stories such as a waterpipe in Peckham was burst & it took two hours to find the stopcock then interview public & most of the time there is a old person saying 'It's disgraceful back in my day this wouldn't of happened' or 'we wouldn't have got away with it'Very Happy

I wasn't aware Mary Nightingale came from here. Wasn't Alistair Stewart at ITN previous to this?

The London News Network (LNN) is a division of ITN isn't it?

Well I least I think it is, also Alistair Stewart has previously worked on national ITN, quite famously on the News at 5:45 after Leonard Parkin didn't do it anymore.

Oh I didn't know that. Is it based at ITN HQ then as well as Channel 4 and Channel 5 News

No!

LNN is wholly owned 50/50 by LWT and Carlton, and based IIRC at the The London Television Centre on the South Bank.
