Viewers outraged on twitter about it.
Really poor this by ITV.

If Julian was doing live continuity he could have told us what's going on and kept us all entertained with a menu of tonight's programming.

Struggling to spot the outrage to be honest. It’s a technical issue. No one died.

I'm sure This is UTV will be sending a strongly written letter to ITV......

And how long have you been ghostwriting headlines for the Daily Express?

You can read me like a book. 

Tonight's cock up shows just how much UTV needs separate (idealy live) continuity from the network. 

I hope ITV will do the right thing and re-show the episode in full.
"From today you'll hear some new voices when you're watching UTV, as for the time being we're handing over to our colleagues at ITV, but rest assured Julian and I will be back with you as soon as possible"

Sad news, Aideen was one of the more likeable presenters and reporters on UTV and GMTV NI in recent years.

I remember her on GMTV NI as a lad. Very sad indeed

Feels strange to have the exact same team presenting Evening Extra and Newsline. I honestly think the rebrand next year would feel so consistent if they brought a similar set of themes, jingles and stings to both programmes (a la BBC LDN 2001)

BBC Newsline extended tonight from 10.30pm-11.20pm after the death was announced of the former First Minister of Northern Ireland David Trimble who served as the 1st First Minster of Northern Ireland under the NI Executive in 1998 alongside the SDLP and was a broker of the Good Friday Agreement.

A tiny snatch David Trimble losing it with Noel Thompson 20 years ago, shown last night on the BBC 10pm news, prompted me to dig out the clip of the incident.

I forgotten Noel Thomson had retired (not entirely his own idea !) in March 2020. He was an excellent presenter.

This evening’s BBC Newsline seems to have been extended as well, running until 7:25pm.
