The Sunday London bulletin was presented by the evening ITV News presenter today. In this case Mary Nightingale. Julie Etchingham presented on Saturday.

Think there is only the evening bulletin all week so expect the pattern to be repeated over the next few days.

Does seem odd how on most Saturdays they seem to get someone in off the streets to present and yet over Christmas have used one of their most senior newscasters.

I think ITV West Country presenter Kylie Pentelow did 3 or 4 Saturday's on the trot until this weekend. However, if it means London viewers don't get the random pool of freelancers for a few evenings for a senior national presenter, it's no real loss.

TV Choice has lunchtime regional news scheduled as well (though that is done by the national presenter normally anyway isn't it?). GMB is on Mon-Wed as well so there maybe morning regional news

(As a side note on Friday while ITV are on a holiday news schedule, apart from Breakfast being shortened due to the MOTD repeat, BBC1 news is scheduled as normal

Would like some regional news, although I'd prefer "we'll be back in a moment, here's some music" Wink Laughing

The Freeview EPG also has a regional news round-up after the late bulletin as well. James Mates is down for tomorrow's lunchtime, evening and late national (and possibly London) bulletins.

It's the same as normal at Christmas isn't it, each national presenter takes it in turns to do one day each, and they are often very long days. Sunday's lunchtime news was at 11am, hosted by Mary Nightingale.

The BBC do similar but only with the evening bulletins, the lunchtime ones being a News Channel person as usual.

Only today and tomorrow is there going to be regional bulletins.

Surprised that there's a London duty today with Sharon Thomas presenting the main bulletin.
