Did anyone see the promo at the end of the Evening News last night? I'm surprised it hasn't been discussed yet. It was based on the war, and it ended with the ITV News logo and the ITV News Channel logo.

Is this a sign of things to come?


Was this the blue/yellow logo?

Jonathan Dimbleby has signed up to present on the News Channel. See today's media guardian.

Veteran broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby is to anchor a new show on the ITV News Channel in the event of a war with Iraq, as part of a drive by the channel to put recognisable and reassuring faces on air in a time of national crisis.

Was just about to post that. I think the most interesting bit is right at then end though claiming that since relaunching as the ITV News Channel, audiences have tripled and several major stories have been broken on the channel.

Yep. It was on a sort of bluey/green background. Did anybody manage to capture it?

No, But I have seen it before, and it has been mentioned somewhere a few days ago.

Nice to finally see Katie Derham do an hour on the News Channel. They've started using the big screen to do interviews like on ITV1 as well, looks very good. I think they've dropped the side shot (to go into breaks) to allow more angles at other times.

What time was Katie on the News Channel?

She did 4 - 5pm, which I think Mark Austin sometimes does.

Go back a few pages, I mentioned today's schedule yesterday.

As usual for ITV News, Leyla is popping on and off for about 6 hours, but only does about 3 hours herself!
