That's good, it was rather rubbish having 15 minutes! And it will keep offcom happy withb it keeping within their rules of how much and when news should be broadcast

Good news indeed, I hope it goes back to what it used to be like, with no break, and with studio guests.

They become half and hour doc's.......
Does anyone else feel five news is now going round in circles with Sky.
I really, really do hope someone falls off that ledge soon on the updates, come on its bound to happen, preferably with Lara Lewington stabbing herself in the eye with a carrot at the same time

If this is true, what does it mean for all the 45-minute documentaries they have been busy commissioning for the 7.15 slot?

This is probably Election related and the bulletin will return to 15 mins afterwards.

I hope they rethink their format for the 7pm show and return to a half hour programme permanently. The in depth news analysis with different guests was one of the strong points of the old News.

This is what Chris Shaw has to say in his column in Press Gazette this week:

Finally, TV news programmes have no diary columns or editorials, so I hope you'll bear with me if I use a paragraph or two to reply to a nasty little campaign being waged against Five News by The Observer.
For two weeks running, the paper's media diarist implied that viewing figures to Five News have fallen since we moved the contract from ITN to Sky News. In fact, our audience so far this year is up some 6.4 per cent on our average viewing in 2004.
I would also like to point out that even our worst-performing 5.30 news programme has more viewers than The Observer's average readership of 437,000, and furthermore, that while our audience is rising, The Observer's readership is actually falling year on year by three per cent — faster than any other Sunday broadsheet.
So there!
