I just caught the ITV News presented by Alistair Stewart.
What a refreshing change! The guy was actually smiling in places, nice to people, made complimentary remarks and presented news items in a positive manner.
I realise, of course, that this will be the direction of the editor as much as Stewart himself, but I was very impressed. Stewart has always struck me as very cheerful and pleasant man when I've chatted to him in the smoking area outside ITV's offices.
But is this tone to ITV News usual? Or was I just lucky? Such a pleasant break from the depressing and tabloid BBC News.
