They were also standing in front of a screen with that could be the new titles which involved a map of the UK made up of blue squares (if that makes any sense).


Kind of like this(except saying ITV Central News)?

Is London Tonight changing it's name because at the end of todays buliten she just said I'll be here for London Tonight tomorrow at 6, so maybe it's not changing names and maybe Katie will be coming into the presenter line-up later on.

Lastly, I don't think London Tonight is moving yet because not a word has been mentioned. i hope they don't move!

Re the new theme - the chord progression and timing sounded familiar.. then it hit me... and here's what happened when I slowed it down:

Stereo - one side ITN, other side BBC4 News (old mix) - if you have headphones or speakers with individual volume controls try listening to one then the other then both!

All regions except HTV regions are retaining their news name ie Meridian Tonight, Westcountry Live, Calendar News, Central News are all staying whereas HTV News (wales and west) is changing to ITV Wales News and ITV West News respectively!

ITV changing there look is a big thing, and unlike the bbc's relaunch it is not that much media coverage from other companies.
Plus i think they could do with promoting itv news channel more on other channels it is the only way they are going to get the viewers.

I was watching that on HTV News earlier - isn't that just the video screen part of the current HTV news set?

The impression that im getting is that only London is getting a new set whereas all the other regional news studios are getting a 'refresh' so I wouldnt expect too much tomorrow from your regional set. The opening titles and music will change, the graphics and astons will be different and there may be a few more squares around the set but other than that it should be business as usual! I cant see all 15 itv regional stations being able to acquire a virtual London set this quickly!

Maybe new desks and virtual walls will be introduced around the regions around April?

PM for the launch video!

ITV News Relaunch


If the Re-Launch has been planned for months, they could very easily have the New Sets ready.

It could even be the case that New Studios have been built.

We will just have to wait and see.

We are guaranteed at least one new-look, the National News will be different and New Graphics, Astons, Music, etc, are just as good.

Let's not pre-judge, let's look forward to tomorrow morning.

Well on Friday's HTV News they said they were getting a "face lift". That sounds more than a new picture on the big screen to me.
