Annabel Tiffin? No. She's off screen for a few months now. Sarah Teale replaced her as main 6.00 presenter a couple of weeks ago.

SHUT UP

Can't do right for wrong!

Felicity Barr doing the ITV News again today on her own. I think she's made the transition to a proper news presenter now, and not just a sports presenter

Also was that Rachel McTavish presenting the ITV Weekend News at 12.30pm?

Before Felicity Barr - who did the ITV News Sport? I can remember some bald man doing it, was he called Graham Miller? If so, what happened to him??

Graham Miller left ITN last year to set up his own consultancy.

He's often on LBC 97.3 on Saturday mornings, either presenting the sports bulletins or as a pundit.

Yep, and Gabby Logan did it in her Yorath days as well, she was really good. I heard that they were trying her out as a proper newsreader too, but alas, it never happened.

So, to save me trawling through the 60 pages of comments can anyone give a confirmed date or at the least the most realistic date for an ITV News relaunch on screen? I know there was once speculation over the 19th May but now I've seen Autumn mentioned? Anyone? Ta!

The News Chanel preseneter who does the morning had always done the Saturday lunchtime bulletin. Perhaps now that the war iks over and things have settled down, it is back to normal for this pattern.

I prefered it when the Lunchtime programme was from 12:30 - 1:05 with Nicholas Owen, as I don't see much of him. Does anyone think Felicity and Fiona will ever get a title such as ''Weekend News presenter'' or whatever?

Fiona Foster on ITV1 today as billed

The lunchtime bulletin came from the small studio with the short opening titles

Well Friday's 10pm news is actually billed as the 'ITV Weekend News' so isn't really the News at Ten though I wonder if it counts towards the ITC quota??

I bet Trevor will do Wednesday and Thursday this week, tommorow as its a four day week, maybe they'll let John have the week off and get Mark Austin to stay late and present it?

I wondering the other night (on another note) do you ever get to go on the ITV News set or talk to any of the presenters, Reportage or Newsroom?
