Know we know it has ended now was it broadcasted in any other countries other than the USA

Any chance of having another go at that?

As it stands, it makes little or no sense, even when trying to mentally alter various spellings.

Blimey, keep up. The ITN World News went off the air a couple of years ago in the US.


Well at least we know it has ended!
Does anyone know if it was shown in any other countries apart from the US

I don't think it was. I lived in USA at the time and it always used to say ITN World News for PBS. But i know it was broadcast on aeroplane flights!

Poor Tim Rogers yesterday. If anyone did not see it, ITV's North of England Correspondent was in either York or Keighley, near York in the early evening when they cut into Philip Reay-Smith's report without Philip signing off when the presenter Bill Neely said, "Let's go to Keighley [or York, can't remember] and speak to Tim Rogers" when you saw our Tim chatting to somebody and Tim acting as if nothing had happened when he went off camera.
Later in the evening, Tim was at a petrol station when the camera lights went and Tim was left talking in the dark. You don't get to see that everyday.

Does anyone else know this fact: EuroNews is partly owned by ITN...


Not any more it isn't. ITN sold their stake some time ago.

The studio Leyla is in at the moment doesn't look like the usual confined CSO, you can see the base of the big screen behind her and more of a desk.

Is this a new improved 2nd studio ?

It certainly looks this way.
Andrew Harvey used it this morning until 12.30pm, instead of the London News Set, and it looks very similar to the normal 'theatre of news'. The background is constantly moving, and the boxes above the presenters head also slide in and out.
It is a 100% improvement on the previous CSO effort, as it looks extremely similar to the other set. The only difference is the desk is slightly different and they don't use the news wall for interviews.
EDIT: Just seen an interview, this is an excellent set, albeit slightly small, though it's much better than the previous CSO, and it should make things a lot better now that the channel has this set. It's only a shame they couldnt have introduced it a few months ago.

Leyla has just conducted an interview at the newswall in this new improved 2nd studio. Looks good, just like the real thing really, albeit a slightly tighter angle.

I wonder if it could be the old ITV News set? The one used for extended VR presentations?

Does Anyone know why CNNI use ITNs' UK domestic reports? Are they the same company? Very Happy Arrow Confused:

I think there must be some sort of exchange going on, as during the Iraq Invasion they were using their reporters and CNN were using ITN reporters.
