I was waching the itv weekend news and sport at 5:10 pm to 5:25 pm with Andrea Catherwood and Feleicty barr. the ending was the old tune half way through it then cut to the old itv news channel ad music very odd did anyone else see this.


Yes I saw that, they played the ITV News closing theme too late so it was nowhere near the end, they then tried to rescue it by playing the ITV News short sting, which was faded out half way through


That got me really excited and I was disappointed when they ''saved'' it - the old Evening News ending was very good I thought.

I have that ending on tape because I left my tape recording from the animated serise of mr bean. has anyone else got a copy of the ending of the news.

has anyone got any itv news tunes that don't have voices over the top of them.

has anyone got the itv news channel tune which they use when are not ready in the studio it is the one with all the presenters such as Andrew Harvey and John Suchet go flying past in sets of 4. if so would you upload them please.

was anyone waching the itv news channel at 10:00pm to 10:40pm. around 10:15 pm Lloyd said coming up the itv weekend news with Andrea Catherwood stay with us and went to a break and it came back on at 10:18pm and went back to Lloyd he then read a couple more stories before saying coming up the itv weekend news with Andrea Catherwood the plinky plonky music came on and then it went straight to the itv weekend news with andrea catherwood. All because the vault on itv 1 was late finishing which meant celebrity stars in their eyes was late starting so instead of the itv weekend news starting at 10:15 it started at 10:23pm Rolling Eyes The news on itv only starts dead on ten on monday because the bond film concludes after the news.

Mary Nightingale had her baby in mid January I think, which means she's had 32 weeks off, take the 2 and a half weeks she's presented on when Katie was away and that random Sunday evening before the war and it comes to around 29 weeks - the exact length of maternity leave, so I'm expecting her back very shortly.

Mary's biography on the ITV News website says she will return on screen 'In due course'.

I expect he's on holiday, he was on screen a lot during the Iraq War.
