[London Lite]

Considering London is basically a load of interconnecting towns that have their own identity, it was always going to be hard to get a regional news bulletin that works for everyone. Ilford or Enfield to me may as well be Birmingham or Coventry when it comes to connecting with the rest of the capital. And that's before you take in the rest of the region that takes in parts of the home counties that rarely gets a look in, so I can understand why ATV and Rediffusion went for generic formats to meet the regional criteria.

Thames News and London Tonight up until the ITN takeover managed to get that right with a mix of news that everyone in the capital could relate to, such as crime and public transport stories.
