When Mary joined ITN in about 2001 she quite regularly presented weekend bulletins prior to moving on to the Evening News.

Wasn’t she hired originally to cover Kirsty Young on the Lunchtime News? She was definitely presenting at ITN at the very end of 2000, as there is a video of her presenting on one of the days between Xmas and New Year:

Obviously she very quickly moved to the Evening News as that’s where Kirsty’s job moved. Kirsty then came back around June/July (?) that year, but left quite quickly (October I think) to go back to C5. Mary then returned to the EN, sharing with Katie Derham originally before becoming permanent co-host.

Some interesting bits on this LinkedIn post I don’t think have been mentioned previously.

New studio? Where at ITN are they going to have that studio?

Is the newsroom still being redone? If so, it could be located there.

The ITV newsroom has been being redeveloped for a while now. I'd imagine they've built some sort of new studio within it.

I suspect it'll be a revamped version of their "digital" studio which looks pretty decent for what it's used for. Or a corner of the newsroom.

Yes ITV News are back in their newsroom. A new newsroom studio has been built next to the atrium. It should also be visible from the street.

I thought the entrance to GIR had been completely redeveloped so that you couldn't see across into the atrium? Isn't it a social space, cafe, etc?

I’ll check next time I’m there but I think you’re able to see it through the glass doors into the main building from reception.
