Lucy Martin has just done the lunchtime weather forecast live in the Spotlight studio. Think it's the first time she hasn't done a pre-record in front of a green screen on Spotlight.


She's been doing live lunchtime bulletins from the studio since late August.

A new style of GWR sponsorship stings for the ITV West Country Weather debuted today.

The previous live-action style has been replaced by animated stings that mimic the look of vintage railway posters.

I rather like them.

Possibly to tie in with the new GWR advertising campaign featuring the Famous Five for their new Hitachi trains which will start coming into service to replace the InterCity HSTs soon.

I think it is long term attachment reading the comments on social media.

Seems like Mark Longhurst is leaving ITV News West Country already.

The role for main presenter “alongside Kylie Pentelow” is back on the ITV Jobs website.

The new regions summary during the Afternoon Live programme on the news channel has led to the rather bizarre situation of Simon McCoy interviewing his wife, Victoria Graham.
