Did ITV News play the National Anthem like BBC News did?

I hope it's not in bad taste but I must admit I do think ITV News' presentation looks nicer, especially the lower thirds. I think the colours complement each other better and are less "in your face".



I think the background is the standard background but in the darker colours used for News at Ten?

Mary coming on certainly took me by surprise.

Must admit I agree that the darker colours are better.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Channel 4 has now handed over to C4 News.

This is how UKTV channels looked:

Channel 5 might want to have a rethink about this afternoon's TV movie, "Deadly Queen."

Very sad news, handled very well by the BBC from what I saw, even if the coverage had been planned down to the smallest detail.

Yes just after the video I posted cut off, after Lucrezia read the statement.

They cut to an obit slide with the anthem before going back to Lucrezia.

Gold are airing ads right now.

Channel 4's slide left a lot to be desired, in my opinion. A grey background with grey blocks lying in the bottom right corner. Would've thought they'd at least used the logo.

Wonder if they brought her in especially because she had the previous experience

Are BBC are preparing for the lunchtime news or are they going into the obit documentary?

Huw Edwards now on BBC One, Two and Channel.
