Perhaps it's just rubbish editorial management that sets expectations so low, which is a shame as they often do fantastic journalism piece by piece, wrecked by dire programme producing with dreary story after dreary story like its production week at Uni Journalism school. The single anchor format doesn't help.

I don't know if this is telling but there seems to be a fair bit of turnover among editorial roles at ITV Wales (although Jonathan has been in management for some years now)

Admittedly, the programme can feel like its dragging from time to time.

I notice Ruth tends to get a bit of extended airtime as well, sometimes introducing a story herself (be it from studio or as an OB) just before the weather.
