I expect that, short of the newscaster, it will largely have been produced by the same team as if it were at 10. So don't get your hopes up (although do - I found that Julie's bulletin last week was an 80% improvement upon Tom's....

Was willing to give it another try tonight. OK, morbid curiosity but it may have won me over... Unfortunately no news until 11. Maybe it's the way forward - ITV should really try a news bulletin at 11pm.

They did. ITV Nightly News and was presented by Dermot Murnaghan and that didn't really work either...

Yes, it was launched in March 1999, but by 2001, News at Ten had returned, before being axed again and moved to 10.30!

A bit of a cock-up there, running the "Ten" titles and the announcer saying "This is the ITV News at Ten". I wonder if they recorded it at 10?

Titles for the News at When still showed the 10pm clock-face, and voice-over referred to it as ITV News at Ten... that is just silly. Why not just say ITV News?

Is Rageh the anchor on Friday?

As previously said by other posters they have before. However it must be said that that programme was essentially the old News At Ten style News moved to 11...this new style format seems to me to suit a later bulletin more (a lighter version of Newsnight). However as with the original 'News At When' issue I somehow doubt viewers would wait for the later bulletin...

Julie commented on Pauline Cafferkey's recovery as being "great news" and that they "wish her all the best". Very welcome sentiments, but sounded totally out of place on a news programme, regardless of which direction they're taking it in. Very strange.

I think Mr Ison knows full well the history of ITV's scheduling of their late-night news...!

I think we've finally reached that point in time where tongue-in-cheek remarks need to be clearly signposted as such... Rolling Eyes
