Anglia/East of England News Discussion

Cambridge looped possibly a headline bed without the vamps for its closer, over weather pictures tonight.

Anglia News reported today that former Newsreader John Bacon died at the age of 83.

It’s ladies night tonight on ITV News Anglia 6pm programme. Becky Jago and Victoria Lampard both presenting tonight’s main programme.

Will we have a men's night tomorrow then?

I'm sure they will when they only have two male presenters available.

Look East Cambridge (West) have a new desk which mirrors the national desk in E with a black top and red front. Surprised they didn't go for a coffee table setup ala Norwich. Still no sign of a studio revamp on the cards, especially for Norwich which really needs it.

Not really convinced it's a new desk because of the shape and the lighting around the base (almost as if the old one has been tarted up). Either that or they ordered a tight oval shaped desk which looks a bit meh!

When you think of the programmes that were made in that studio before the news refit. I remember walking into there as a small child and seeing it as a cavern of a space.

Was Anglia a region that got its studio split in two, or did they have two studios all along?

It used to be a pan-regional bulletin until 1990, when it was split into two distinct bulletins I think with a studio each. Now it's one pre-rec, one live from the same studio.
