The (old) ITV News Thread

Any clues as to what it looks like, or is that as much as you can say ?

ITV Nightly News?
ITV News At Ten Thirty?
ITV Late News?
ITV News?

I'd guess it would be one of the above, also will it be more or less what it is now: 20 minutes plus local news, one presenter?
Or will it be slightly more diplomatic?

Unless the new set is the virtual one rumoured, how can it be ready? All studios at ITN are in use now I thought, with the old ITN NC being used for the London regional news service from early next year (presume this will fit in with the ITV News new look, as will Granada Reports).

I doubt it would be any of them, I think ITN would have come up with a more original name that people wouldn't guess. I'm really hoping they actually improve the programme instead of just moving it, it better start at exactly 10:30 and hopefully it will have more content and last longer than current.

It seems Andrea Catherwood will be presenting the Weekend News tonight from 5.20 on ITV1. I thought she was supposed to be on maternity leave?

Her workload has been cut, so she will probably just present at weekends until Christmas maybe?

I've noticed during recent weeks she hasn't been on air much on the news channel when she is presenting the weekend bulletins, i think she is due in late January so i can't see her going on maternity leave until the new year.
They will no doubt need her for the relaunch

Looking at the Christmas Radio Times it's a pity that ITV News didn't get their Christmas presenter details to them in time

I'm surprised that it is out this early it wasn't out last year until around the 13/14th, they're on the toes early this year.
With the early arrival i just wonder how many TBA's there is on the main 5 channels

You have to love the ITV News short bulletins don't you. Is there a rule that when perching on the desk you can look all informal ?

John Suchet was very casual just then in shirt sleeves, I know it's a scene repeated for some of the daytime bulletins as well. So, when perching, the golden rule must be, lose that jacket.

A lot of the time it seems to be less perching and more siting completely on the desk with their feet dangling off the edge.

I'd be good if Trevor McDonald could do a short bulletin!

I can see trev doing that espcially when he threatened to quit earlier this year when they asked him to do some 11 bulletins becasue John Suchet needed a day off!
