Itv News Announcer

[smurfchops]

Why do we have that person with that awful voice introducing the newsreaders? Surely their names could be printed on screen? Something else to annoy me ...

[trt]

Which person smurf?

[Georgiesmum]

who? when?

[smurfchops]

The woman who introduces the newsreaders at the beginning of ITV News. Just her irritating voice, you dont see her.

[Mamyalynne]

Mute it.

[aelmpvw]

why do newsreaders need introducing?

[smurfchops]

Mama if I muted any part of the news I would get lynched ... Same as One Show.... Aelmpvw. I AGREE.

[smurfchops]

Not sure about one o'clock news but watch six o'clock... You will see what I mean.. Grrr

[smurfchops]

Oh dear just missed one o clock, how time flies !

[Postdog]

Its six o'clock news is local not national.

\\ why do newsreaders need introducing? //
exactly, it's all part of the nonsense where a programme presenter thanks the previous presenter for his/her programme and thanking the news reader after each bulletin is read out. I presume it's meant to sound friendly but it doesn't sound very professional.
