Hearing Pip this morning has made we wonder if it is her that does the intro voiceover (the "Live from London" section)? I thought it sounded like her?

Now that you say it, sort of yeah. I thought it sounded like Caroline Flack, but know it obviously isn't as I'm sure there would've been some tabloid-y 'exclusive' by now.

EDIT - Doesn't really sound like either here:

Isn't it ITV Announcer Andrea Fox?

It sounds more like Philippa than Andrea Fox. She could just be altering her voice slightly and they're obviously not all prerecorded as I remember one time she had a cold.

Always thought Pip has what it takes to be a main presenter. Ideal opportunity this morning. Why Kate?

Hopefully it won't be another 6 months or so til we see Pip again!

Philippa Tomson is solid, if a bit bland with her delivery.

But when you only get a chance once in a blue moon, hardly get chance to show all you can do. Seen enough of Pip on Tyne Tees and Sky News over the years to know she's good enough. IMO.

Special graphic used this morning:

I am surprised that it was a totally different graphic and not just the style of the old weather bug.

Another square based graphic was used today, the background for the split screen was a grid with certain squares being emphasized. It was on at 7.11 but I haven't seen it after that.

Maybe they are moving towards a more square overall look. UBox is correct in saying that a new split screen was used for the first time yesterday - a grey and white square background.

Very ITV News-y.

Very ITV News-y.

That's true, maybe thats what they're going for. I do quite like it though. If they do opt for a more square look then I don't think it would be a bad thing; there's a limit to how far they can take the shape of the logo. The EU referendum logo actually looks decent on top of the straps.

K*te Garr*way never goes for very long without making a hash of pronouncing a word.

At about 06:07 today, she referred to the place where the UK parliament is as "Wence-minster". Rolling Eyes

How someone so wholeheartedly lacking in verbal skills has been continually employed for years as a TV presenter, is beyond me.
