I would like to see the new Lunchtime News can report from location more often. And, perhaps, we might get to see newscasters like Angela Rippon and Andrew Harvey making their return to network news.

ITV revamps daytime

ITV is moving its afternoon regional news bulletin as part of an overhaul of its daytime schedule under the new brand ITV Day.

The 15-minute 3pm bulletin will be dropped from 11 April and moved into a new hour-long lunchtime show from 12.30pm to 1.30pm. The hour will now feature a mixture of national and regional news.

ITV wants to free up its afternoon airtime for a series of new launches including Target Entertainment's quiz show Perseverance, which is likely to play at 1.30pm. The relaunched Loose Women is likely to be given the 2pm slot. Also set to be in the new line-up is Lion TV's Mums on Strike, in which harassed mums are given time out. It is likely to go out at 3pm before the shortened CITV strand between 3.30pm and 5pm, followed by The Paul O'Grady Show.

ITV is also revamping the morning day-part with SMG TV Productions' Trisha replacement, The People's Court, a Judge Judy-style show, to start at 9.25am.

Meanwhile Granada is piloting two other replacement shows for Trisha with Capital FM DJ Jeremy "Jezza" Kyle as presenter.

If there was an announcement today, it doesn't seem to have been reported anywhere yet.

Maybe there was a launch event for the whole of the ITV Day concept?

Neither Nick or Katie are on-air today.

Maybe this week's trade press will have more.

You are spot on. I saw a man in the city today, clutching a folder with an embossed ITV DAY logo on the front of it, didn't have the cheek to ask him for a peek.

Can't draw so will describe it.

itv logo on top, three coloured bars underneath yellow (breakfast) orange (lunchtime) red (afternoon) and then the word DAY.
