Barely beating the ITV Lunchtime news... Which itself gets a third off the audience of the BBC News at one...... Too funny!


As is your usual petty snideness.

I'd rather a world where Tom Bradby mouths off about the BBC not being 'fun' enough than a world where the only TV news I can watch is the BBC

Cheer up Nicky I'm sure Tom will close the gap soon.... What with Peston and Allegra joining him on high salaries.

So yesterday that article in the ES.

Last nights overnights:
BBC News at Ten: 4.7m
ITV News at Ten: 1.3m


Bumping, just so these aren't lost on the last page. Poor Peston.

Wow. Your pettiness really has hit an all-time high. And Tom Bradby's supposed to be the 'unhinged' one.

The standard says the revamp will be next week- "Next week the programme sees its title credits and famous bongs overhauled — “More of Big Ben’s face,” explains an ITV source, “a nod to the News at Ten of old, our heritage”. There will also be what Bradby calls a “refreshed set” — the catwalk backdrop for Peston and Stratton (who arrives next month), as well as Bradby’s existing “dynamic” team."

Whilst on the other hand the RadioTimes says- "there will be a new on-air look in spring".
Can someone confirm when the refresh will officially be introduced?


Going on the last refresh when ITV completely rebranded was in January 2013, so I'd hedge my bets on this coming Monday, not just for NaT but possibly ITV News in general.


Personally I would like to see more Regional News on ITV and maybe officially have News At Ten in a 45 minute slot with 20 minytes of main news stories; then 10 minutes of Regional News from 2220 - 2230 followed by 15 minutes of features and guests for interviews.

Would ITV News change for all bulletins though next week and if so would Regional News get a tweak? I ask this as most if not all regions have the new sets which were installed last year? I know they can use CGI to update them. I wish here in the Granada Region we had one which they used when the clocks go back rather than the view of the newsroom which sometimes looks darker than the live window view would look?

Yes, because that worked for Good Morning Britain - poaching BBC lifers with huge sums of money...

It is a little different. GMB and Daybreak poached personalities that ITV thought would change viewing habits at a time of day when people love routine.

Allegra and Peston are brilliant journalists who will bring stories and analysis to a time of day where people are much more willing to change channel. These two are about content, not style and presentation.
Brekkie, Square Eyes and Nicky gave kudos

At the BBC, maybe, but ITV obviously have their own ideas on changing the direction of News at Ten.

Please try reading other members' posts more carefully - the issue is with the BBC using the 'News at Ten' phrase without a 'BBC' prefix, examples of which are given in my earlier post.


I have read others post carefully and my point still stands with or without the BBC prefix. If it's referred to as the News at Ten on the BBC then viewers presumably know they are watching the BBC. If viewers hear the phrase 'News at Ten' on ITV then hopefully they know they are watching ITV. If they don't know what News at Ten they are watching then it probably doesn't bother them if they are watching BBC or ITV and thus any rebranding is unlikely to affect them. Changing the style from 'News at Ten' to 'Ten O'Clock News' wouldn't have any discernible difference to most viewers and would make no difference to whether they watched the BBC or ITV . The group of 'floating viewers' are unlikely to make a shift from ITV to BBC or vice versa based purely on a name that is uttered maybe once or twice in a bulletin. Also don't be so presumptuous in assuming that other members are lazy and don't read other members posts.

BIB: with all due respect, that's a very dangerous 'Joe Public never clocks a damn thing' attitude. They might as well turn out the lights in the newsroom behind Huw or stick him in the canteen because, after all, the viewers won't notice anything other than the news he's reading. Laughing


This comment did make me chuckle!

So far not convinced with new signing Robert Peston. He seems a little nervous and unsure what he is speaking about or us this just his style.

Right so it is his style of being in the studio. His interview with William Hague was good. It is just when live in the studio.
