Newsreader buys a day with himself . . .

That Kaplinsky ad is one of the worst ever!

What about election-only Boulton Factor returning at 8pm? It could be fashioned more in the style of Wolf Blitzer reporters.

CNN is truely awful when it comes to using people in the names of shows.
Take 'Lou Dobbs Moneyline' as an example.
It is possibly the cheapest looking show anywhere!
They used to have some very American style trailers on CNN, 'Natalie Allen and Lou Waters with live news and interviews, CNN Today, 1 Eastern 10 Pacific, CNN' and 'Wolf Blitzer, Joie Chen, Jim Moray, The World Today'.
Most of them had a nice rhyme in there somewhere, but they didn't look bad.

Have you seen the opening titles to CBS 60 Minutes?

I've watched 60 Mins and 60 Mins II but can't remember the titles, I know there is one of those old stopwatch things in there somewhere... why?
Dan Rather is pretty bad at the end of the CBS Evening News..
'That's our report tonight, Dan Rather reporting, CBS News New York, Good Evening and thank you for watching'

Is it the CBS Evening News where they always say 'and that's part of our world tonight...' at the end of the programme? Cheesy.

They say this is 60 Minutes with:

reporter a,b,c,d etc. in the opening title sequence

Talking of slogans / catchphrases, what is it with ITV News whenever they go into an ad break, they all do it :

'All that when we come back'

Can't they vary it a bit ?

And has anyone noticed that, on Dateline NBC, most of the show is presented by one/two presenters (normally Stone Philips/Jane Pauley), and then a completely random presenter normally pops up at the very end of the programme to say goodbye (usually someone like Katie Couric or Ann Curry)! Why???

I have Dateline's ident, again it will be up shortly!

It starts of as, 'This is Dateline... NBC, Tonight...'
Then 'Dateline, with Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips, plus Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, Maria Shriver and Ann Curry, now from our studios in New York here's [either Jane Pauley or Stone Phillips]'
Dateline will be on CNBC (Channel 510 on Sky digital) in the next hour or so, so listen then, has a nice theme tune to it.
