Sorry if this has been mentioned before.
Channel 4 News is going to produce a half hour daily bulletin for More4

Wonder what time it will go out? and if Channel 4 News is getting an increased budget for this.

Not surprised considering the nature of the planned More4 and C4 having no other news channel.

It be pointless in the hour before / after C4 News, and I don't see the point in it after 10pm with BBC News, Newsnight etc.

So if it's in primetime I'm guessing around 9pm - but I think around 4pm would make sense - a real alternative to kids programmes and the typhical daytime offerings.

There are no news bulletins between 1.30pm and 5.30pm so it would be offering something new - and it would be easier for ITN as generally the Lunchtime host is around for 7pm so they can add a third bulletin to their work load!
