News at Ten - Weeknights on ITV1

No one knows for sure, but that's the way it's looking. IIRC, they also said the "News at Ten" sign off would return for the bulletin.

Yeah that's what lead me to this conclusion too.

I wonder if the 'ITV' part will be lessened or in fact removed. I hope listings have it down as 'News at Ten' not just 'ITV News'.

ITV News at Ten - yup it does sound tacky.
ITV have really botched this already, why not announce date now? or News at Ten a 'sensitive commercial secret' as well?

why should they announce it now? They can announce it whenever they like. Most people are more interested in the Christmas schedules not looking 2 weeks into the new year

They don't want to leave it too late, I think ITV should pull out all the stops for this, not just TV trails. Things like full page spreads in national newspapers, they have them for programmes like Big Brother and I'm A Celeb.

.......and remove the dreaded "ITV" branding and bring back "ITN" for the bulletin.

I don't think they should - and I don't think it would be in ITN's favour at all.


ITN has moved on in the last nine years and is now far more than the provider of news to ITV.

Meanwhile, ITV is just stuck in a timewarp and thinks bringing back News at Ten everytime it hits trouble is the solution to everything.


It's up to them now to ensure the "ITV News" brand is respected.

Eh... when have they done it before? They've brought it back once and only because they were forced to.

I personally think it should just be called News at Ten, with ITV branding on the titles underneath. It could sometimes be referred to as News at Ten from ITV.

Incidentally does anyone know when (and indeed why) the "From ITN" part of the introduction was dropped?

I would like to see John Suchet be one of the main presenters on News at Ten again.
He was/is one of the better modern-day newscasters - Natasha Kaplinsky is not one of them - and I bet he will be a valuable asset again, just like when he did on the original NaT run.
Suchet could do it - he left five news yesterday.

Looks like News at Ten isn't back on 14 January either. That week has shows at 10pm.

Could it not be the case they are just keeping it underwraps, and may change the schedule? IIRC, another channel did something like this didn't they?

2001 I think, just before News at Ten was bought back last time. I think it was the start of ITV's new contract with ITN and was about building up the "ITV News" brand.
