Which makes you wonder why so many ITV regions still have double-headed presentation for their 6pm weekday bulletins. Are there any regions which don't?

London.


Plus Wales.

Maybe because the ''punters'' prefer double headed? I for one certainly do!

STV has recently reverted back to doubled headed after 13 years, albeit with a different slant.

Cambridge (Look East - West) is single headed.
Hull I presume is a full 30 minute programme with one presenter.
Scotland?

There's always one to forget. However, it shows the majority of the regions prefer the solo anchor format.

Any correlation with ratings/share?

Does it?

6 single headed English regions versus 7 double headed at 6:30, if you exclude Oxford and the Channel Island as they’re sub-opts rather than full bulletins, and it’d be slightly mad if they were double headed!

South Today is single-headed on paper, but in reality the second half of the programme is effectively double-headed with the sports presenter.

Just thought I'd give a heads up that ITV News Anglia are doing a Facebook Live tonight on their Facebook page at 6:30pm. It's called 'Menkind' and will be discussing men's mental health and the high male suicide rate.

Two things, I don't believe they've done this sort of thing for a while (and a certain TV Forum member might just be mentioned/feature on it Wink ).
