But ITV News doesn't broadcast to 'Southern' Ireland?
Yeah, I don't know why they put it on the weather map (is it a legacy from the UTV Ireland days?) but it looks odd him covering up place names.

Did they even broadcast the ITV News on UTV Ireland? I thought there was just a programme called "Ireland Live"

No. just their news. They had updates during GMB too

ITV Evening News 30 mins on Fridays on UTV

That was covered in the previous thread. UTV, ITV Wales and Border Scotland are using that slot for their 30 min opt-out shows UTV Live, Coast & Country and Border Life.

So, had time to digest it now.

Overall, some positive changes in my view. It's nice to see the weather come from the studio (even if it makes it obvious it's all green screen), and finally a full promo for News at Ten included, although I can't really picture Tom or Rageh sat in that little corner they had Julie in.
Of course, some graphics changes just not in the areas we were expecting (titles and astons) - the stuff I was expecting to change didn't but the stuff that I didn't expect did change. Nice to see the transitions between the stories on the 'coming up' and the TOTH, although I'd rather they just use the TOTH graphics before the breaks.

Maybe it's just that I've gotten used to the stuff about Ukraine but it didn't drag after 25 minutes or so like I expected it to, and was quite surprised when I looked at the clock on my laptop to see it showing 7pm.

Seemed alright to me. It was like the Evening News, but on for an hour. I’m not sure what people were expecting really.

That's the poster campaign sorted.

Just had a glance through it here and pretty much as you'd expect. Just a couple of observations - obviously not required until Friday but no obvious opt-out point towards the top of the hour, and also given it's now an hour long I think a recap of the headlines either at 7pm or at the end would be worthwhile. I think if they use the 7pm slot for a flagship report branding it the "7pm Report" or similar might be worthwhile.

They need to change the "screen" used for the weather - no reason not to switch to full screen CSO for the actual forecast, but failing that the framing of the Australian forecast was better than the framing of the UK forecast.


Wasn't expecting any major or even minor changes tonight but wonder if it might be worth taking out the London desk and permanently having the small sofa set there (or coffee table/chairs) and perhaps a standing presentation point (similar to the lecturn used when on the road) so Mary could move to different areas in the studio. That area would still function well enough for the London news too.

At least there were no gimmicks like a phone in or asking for viewers comments on the news etc, although having said that we don’t know what they had planned if it wasn’t for the war.

I wonder if they might do some sports news, maybe on a Friday it’d be a good way to pad out the time, as ITV News don’t tend to do much sport unless it’s a big story. Steve Scott could come in and host it.

I’d be nice if the weather could be a bit longer, it seemed longer tonight compared to how it was previously, but still nowhere near as long as a BBC forecast is.

It was 30 seconds longer than normal. The usual ITV Weather forecast is 60 seconds, this was 90 seconds.

Nothing changed due to the war of Ukraine - simply the news agenda.

The extra 30 mins allowed them to also squeeze in some domestic news which has been lacking in great detail since the war started.

UTV Life. UTV Live is their local news.

I assume the weather will be earlier on Fridays around 1855pm if the nations are opting out from 7pm.

New, smaller 'Breaking News' graphic shown just at the end tonight. Much better IMO than the massive one previously used.
