Still no full News at Nine titles, though maybe they don't plan to make full ones. The clock face has certainly been changed and there's a new sweepy in-between-headline thingyo.
I really like ITV's coverage of the war, I only watch ITV and Sky News as I personally find BBC News 24 quite boring! I definitely agree though that ITV need to sort out the rebrand of ITV News... it all seems such a mess using the orange colour scheme as well as the new style blue one in the same broadcast.

But surely you understand that this would not be a good time to rebrand. All resource and efforts need to be utilised on ensuring the best possible coverage of the War, which ITV are providing.
The mismatch of colours is not hugely significant at the moment, but the content is. I'm sure the rebrand will be imminent at the end of the war.
Just been watching the ITV News At Nine, it was very good. Carol Barnes has changed slightly over on the ITV NC at 6:55-9:00, hasn't she? BTW Alastair Stewart's doing a shift on the News Channel now (well, he did start straight after the News At Nine. Not sure about now-). So he didn't just appear once/twice!
Anyone know what John Suchet was supposed to be saying at the end of the ITV News at Nine
It sounded like he was making out that Maggie was on the ITV News Channel!
He said something like "coming up after ITV News At Nine, a look at a past war under a former leader, over on the ITV News Channel, find out about a previous war."
The ITV News Channel will be simulcast live on ITV1 overnight for the duration of any conflict in the Gulf.
ITV1 will also break into its schedules to go to the News Channel for news flashes when appropriate.
The News Channel has signed up a raft of top name presenters in preparation for the Gulf conflict, including Jonathan Dimbleby, Angela Rippon, Carol Barnes, Michael Nicholson, Anne Leuchars and Alastair Stewart.
Alastair reported and anchored the news from Dahran and the newly liberated Kuwait City during the last Gulf war.
The inclusion of Jonathan Dimbleby continues the News Channel's policy of drawing on the strengths of ITV's current affairs schedule.
Jonathan will anchor a regular programme on the news channel, focusing on analysis and debate of the key news issues.
He and the others will join the current line-up, which already includes household names such as Mark Austin, Katie Derham, John Suchet and Nicholas Owen.
And ITV News and its correspondents will also be providing round-the-clock coverage of all the latest developments to the News Channel.
Since the News Channel was re-launched last autumn, it has almost trebled its audience, as well as breaking a string of stories and exclusives.
