Award Winning Granada News - Your Views

I will remove here from my website, I had an idea she had gone but then thought she was still around seeing her last night.

Does anybody know where Trevor Green went to, back to Sky again.?.

FIX!


I mean have any of the judges ever watched an edition - it's probably ITV's worst regional news programme.

Indeed so, but when a major News story does happen then they can be rather good at it, same with the ITV National News really..., but I agree with you on a day to day basis it's crap, I can't say for any other ITV Regions, I've seen London Tonight, Alastair Stewart is fantastic, so is Katie Derham but the programme is drivel.

But on the same level it's encouraging to see BAFTA recognising the importance of Regional News, especially on ITV.

I thought that coverage was really good.

I remember distinctly watching one particular bulletin when Elaine Wilcox filed a report from China, about the conditions that drive people to make the trip, and then also they had another reporter filing a story from Spain.

I guess hopping over to Spain doesn't necessarily cost much with the low cost airlines flying from Manchester, but the fact that they'd invested in two reporters to cover two stories from two different countries and ran the reports in the same bulletin, I thought that was pretty impressive approach local journalism being local without being parochial.

Local news can sometimes get a bit cat gets stuck up tree/school fete, a bit like a local newspapers, at least NWT is more along those lines.

I prefer Granada for it's breadth of coverage and its approachable presenters.

Whilst I agree to a point that NWT has stories such as that, it's probably only because that's what the viewer wants. But when NWT does something properly, they do it properly . It's an example I always come back to, but Jayne Barrett's consumer strand is an excellent example of NWT getting results.

As for its presenters being approachable, have you seen the footage of Gordon, Tony and Richard Askam in Athens? Stark contrast to Lucy Meacock stood in front of an empty Olympic Stadium

Granada's team in Athens seem thoroughly approachable to me - and on a sports story of such gravitas - I'd say Granada repeatedly triumph over the BBC

Me too. Gordon Burns looks completely out of depth in Athens.It looked like he was in a stuio last night! Lucy Meacock always seemms completey relaxed. Ranvir Sing was looking rough on northwest Today.
I reckon theres not much between there day to day coverage but Granada always do big events better than the BBC.

Here here - as proved by the Bafta!
Gordon seems out of his depth when things go down in the studio, let alone in Athens.

And who said the BBC had more atmosphere? There's no comparison between tonights two shows!

Whilst seeing that awful Granada Reports preview on tonight's edition, I couldn't help but hear Lucy saying 'Stay tuned and on Friday you'll hear about being able to watch Granada Reports anytime and anywhere in the World'...

So I get a slight hint that ITV Local Granada will be launching within the next couple of weeks.

It already has

Well bugger me, I didn't notice, it's lacking content at the moment, but I'm sure it'll build up. The behind the scenes feature proves interesting viewing.
