ITV has confirmed it is moving all its regional politics shows to a midweek graveyard slot.
From next year, for the first time, all the ITV English regions will air their local political programmes at 11.30pm on Thursday nights rather than on Sunday lunchtime.

Each show will be unique to each region, although ITV's news operations in London will be made available to all of them to keep them connected with Westminster.

As part of ITV's news and current affairs output, the programmes will share similar design and graphics, but titles will vary across each region.

Just so. I've asked him nicely to do us the courtesy of running his posts through a spellchecker, but evidently it's a road too far for him.

We'll just have to settle for taking the p!ss then.

Fell off the chair. Classic.

Anyway, Personally I think its a really poor attempt. I presume I'll now miss Central Newsweek, which forms the culture highlight of my week.

Not quite. Border Scotland doesn't carry any SMG political output.

I bet ITV Wales will carry on showing their political series Waterfront on a Sunday afternoon and opt out of the network. They will probabaly show Soccer Night in the Thursday slot, and i think they are the only region to do so at the moment.
