Above is the future of news broadcasting. Thought this most likely belongs in the Mocks forum, I really can't arse myself to post it in there and recieve a tonne of critique from arrogant tw-ts. As such, it shall remain in here.

The first one to tell me what the hell I am trying to illustrate wins a SPECIAL PRIZE.

Don't know whether this will be ITV's new studio design, but there is scope...

(P.s. appreciate that with useless TV Forum image hosting service that image is unlikely to appear)

Well, I'll give it a go - the future of news is blank?
(You're right, I can't see the image).

Nor can I.

Sounds very good though, I like Angele Rippon. Hopefully the News Channel will book it's ideas up for the New Look.

Oh yes, Carol and Angela would be fabulous on ITV News. It seems quite fashionable for some of the older established faces to be making a comeback at the moment.

Any news on a set change for ITV News ?


Hasn't Carol been on this week already presenting ?

They showed a promo slide during the Lunchtime News. It was promoting the Evening News and featured the usual globe, except it was dark blue instead of blue and red.

I thought both Angela Rippon and Carol Barnes had signed up with Five News, according to reports a couple of months ago, alongside the likes of Martin Bell.

I think the Carol Barnes and Angela Rippon was just a one of for the special series they had called 'Classic Reporting' while Martin Bell has been signed to stay on.

Angela does have another job, as arts correspondent for London's LBC 97.3.

Yes, ITV News would be MUCH better with some older faces - Angela and Carol. Isn't John Suchet the longest ITN / ITV Newscaster? (31 years coming this August)

I hope they don't get a completely new theme tune. I like the current one. Perhaps it could do with modernising a bit, but the theme itself is probably the most well known news theme on tv.

I think they should keep the basic idea, as they've used if for many years, though changed slightly each time.

The short bulletin music is identical to that used in the blue look though
