Did any one record the last news at ten with Mark and Julie ? Did they make a thing of their departure ? Truely awful decision they were true professionals, spoke 100% properly plus had a great rapure and chemistry on screen, both had a dry sense of humour which came out often ie like here, bit old but a goodie :-

I am torn on this. I don't get the criticism about the sighs (it's called breathing, and I actually tended to notice it more than usual with Mark Austin than with other newsreaders), but I do think the new style is a bit.. weird.

The thing is, every night I've decided to watch some news at 10 o'clock, I've chosen ITV.

I watched the first 15 minutes and thought it was fine. Keep in mind that there are always tweaks with every presenter change. When David Muir took over ABC World News the media noticed that they started using present participles in almost every story tease in the cold open. ABC World News isn't my cup of tea (I prefer NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News and watch them both) as its a bit tabloidy but people will get used to it.

But what surprised me the most watching on their website is that ITV News uses Vimeo as their video server. Which explains the poor HD quality as they down convert 1080i to 720p.

Peter Fincham has destroyed the legacy and popularity of News at Ten, in the space of 3 days of 'soft relaunch' happening.


I think, if News at Ten did have a reputation, it was destroyed long before this week. Julie and Mark were certainly "bringing it back" mind you.

Am certainly still very much prepared to give this time. I see and read the news all day on Twitter, so rather than have 30 mins of stuff I've already seen, having a bulletin in a "review" format actually suits me better - but each to their own and all that...

That's a quick return. She's a very safe pair of hands so will be interesting to see her delivery in this format.

So why did Mark Austin say that Tom Bradby would be here at 10?

I wonder if this will make a big difference, if it does then someone will need to look at tom again.

It's Tom tonight, isn't it? That's what Mark said at the end of the Evening News? I think Julie has a special report tonight, but she's not presenting the programme

Yes you're right, she's not presenting. Julie has done a special report from Nigeria which will be shown over 2 nights I believe. Wonder if she will be in the studio for a chat.

She wrote this piece for The Telegraph :
