Although it could happen.
I'm sure the glass will be bullet proof or reinforced, but hey, look on the bright side, if it is, we'll see 3 news programmes having a temp or ewven permanent new look!
Also, I advise you go off this topic now, you never know who's on the net, even the Irish are online now!

Well, consider this.
The Times were never bombed in that building (The now ITN Building was the old HQ for The Times) and The Times are obviously going to have more attention grabbing reports about N.I. then ITN, and they were never bombed, so I think ITN are safe.

I have been looking for them for ages.
Where did you find them?
And yes they are.
That 'strapline' was very useful throughout the night.
I have a tape of the whole night somewhere, but I simply cannot find it anywhere!!
Where did you find them Mister?

Here is a shot of ITN's election studio from 97. Again, good use made of the ITN Atrium, I was very impressed last time round. What is it about ITN and Elections that makes them want to use the atrium, they don't use it for any other occasion as far as I'm aware.

The studio audience were there to provide comments and they had a special mini-ITV 500 programme.
Sue Lawley chatted with audience members all night.
As for the Beeb's studio it was FAR too big.
It just looked odd.
