ITV news boss role in doubt

Personally I hope Mannion gets it. I don't trust Anderson's relentlessly populist agenda.

Did anyone see the Daily Mail piece last week suggesting that Katie Derham is going to present the new ITV London news programme?

How the hell can a 10 minute news bulletin (which really had no point, and was their to displace to viewing audience at that time by providing a 10 minute overlap between programmes on other channels) be compared to a 1 hour documentary.

They didn't even put down the figures the specials on BBC1 and ITV1 got, only the news channels. Therefore how can they decree which channel has "won" or not. Yet more examples of the poor journalism at Media Guardian.

Mannion offered top post at ITV News - From Media Guardian (who else)

Quite good news IMO.

Yeah, but i take it he's still freelance and only part-time? I assume they'll reel him in for a bigger role when the channel relaunches.

looking at the ITV News Channel listings, scheduled is a double headed bulletin on Monday, I wonder is this will happen or it is just a mistake?
Also, there is a Rebecca Woodman on the overnights, anyone know who she is?
I assume ITV News have sorted it out now, so does anyone know who will be reading the news on ITV1 on Christmas Day?, as I would think people like Katie, Mark and Mary would want to be at home with their children, and I suspect that Trevor won't make an appearance!

I guess Rebecca Woodman = Jemma Woodman

For Months now we have all been discussing the apparent imminent change of ITV News, how we think it should look plus many other topics.

What I want to know is, when do we expect to see these changes.?.

Will it be on Monday 5th January or will it be when the newly-formed ITVPlc finally forms together in the Spring.?.

Does anybody know any concrete official information.?. I was told in August they were looking at changes to the News Channel and ITV News, since then the MERGER has been approved. So, what could have been planned for before Christmas has obiously been delayed.?.
