ITV News Report

There has just been a news report on ITV1 with Bill Neely in the CSO set, I think they interupted Quincy to bring the news about the arrest of the bloke with the missing girl.

Of course, half of the time taken up by report was about the evening news and the news channel.

Don't think its been mentioned elsewhere.

Katie was good outside tonight, and Bill in the studio, Kate seemed happy tonight, is it because she is out of the ITV News studio for once!?

I dislike Bill Neely. His voice, manerisms & haircut are extremely irritating. He bobs up and down in his chair throughout the program. James Mates & his eyebrows are almost as bad, but not quite.

Both are very good reporters, just no presenters.

How did tonight's Evening News start, with Katie on the OB was there a special announcement or was it one of those war style starts where they fade straight in to the OB?

Katie did the announcement herself, as the camera panned over the police station at Leigh and the music played, Katie said "Good Evening from Leigh where Shevaun is back with her parents".

Also, it sounded to me as though Katie Derham carried out the interview with the parents that went out to all broadcasters, am I right ?

How long has the ITV News Channel had an in-vision signer, I haven't noticed that before, is she normally used on a Friday morning?

They used to do that back in the days of the ITN News Channel.

Another weekend and another new name on the ITVNC schedule.
Anyone cast any light on Norman Macloed who is covering the 10-11 & 12-1 slot tomorrow morning ?

And Jemma Woodman is doing the Owen Thomas graveyard shift on Monday apparently, is she new to the ITVNC, I think she's been on Sky News.

John Nicholson is ex BBC Breakfast News and News 24, he has been on before during the Iraq War, that Norman I think is a presenter on Grampian News, can anyone confirm this ?
