It's hardly worth John Suchet hanging around to present the short bulletin

They might as well just got the last presenter that was on the news channel to present from the cso so that the nc can carry broadcasting from the main set.
Perhaps they just want to make it look like a normal bulletin instead if an update. Perhaps theres something in their contractual agreement that keeps the itc and next ofcom happy.

Sasha Herriman has just been on Brian Hayes' show on LBC 97.3 doing a review of last week's news and looking ahead to next week.

Looks like the NC has had a mini-scoop, with access to footage not shown on NBC or other UK channels

However, sections of the transcript of the NBC interview that the network did not broadcast were aired on the ITV News Channel, which has a partnership with NBC. In one, the colonel was asked by NBC's Baghdad correspondent why he was so sure that these were chemical or biological weapons. His reply suggests that he was not, in fact, sure at all.

The ITV Morning News is coming from somewhere outside, in front of a big Christmas tree...

That "somewhere outside" was Trafalgar Square.... where the rubgy team's going to end up. It was an excellent programme.... I don't presume owen had autocue and there was barely a fluff. I've always been a big fan of Owen's but in the past few weeks I think he's really matured as a presenter - doing outside live links infront of a drunk crowd can't be easy. It's a shame we don't see him more during the day.

I guessed that was where it was later... onlyw atched a few seconds of it at a time as I was more interested in what was going on on BBC News 24...

Oh what fun!, i do love to see a ITV cock-up, why? because they do it so well! not just one thing, everything goes- fantasic, another brilliant one from ITV NEWS CHANNEL- although i do have my doubts that it can be called a news channel, it looks and acts like CNN. Evil or Very Mad

Trevor McDonald will be appearing on this Friday's edition of Have I Got News for You? at 9 on BBC1. I wonder if he'll actually loosen up a bit; should be good to see though!

The Independent's Word on the Street media diary column posted:
Andrew Marr's evil campaign to starve his family guinea pig, Mr Snuffles, if he is prevented by Richard Sambrook, the BBC's head of news, from writing a column for the Daily Telegraph receives some surprising support in that paper's letters column. "Sir," writes Maddy Austin (aged nine), "I don't know who Mr Sambrook is but he must let Mr Snuffles live. I love seeing him when I go to Emily Marr's house. If Mr Snuffles dies, I'll never watch the BBC News again." Little Maddy is the daughter of the ITV News presenter Mark Austin. Marr is appreciative of her efforts: "I am delighted," he says. "We must all mobilise to save Mr Snuffles."

Well it's branded at simply the 'ITV News' and I prefer it at 9.50pm, as opposed to ITV sticking a programme on in that slot meaning there is not news until about 10.30pm/11pm
