At about 2040, ITN News Direct 97.3 fell off air. They are broadcasting a repeating ITN promotion. Also, the ITN News Channel - viewed on the internet - has a 'recorded earlier' dog. What's your opinion on what's happened?

Bomb scare or fire alarm probably

Hmm! They cut the adverts - well, some of them at 8.57 and brought up this caption.

I saw that appear a couple of weeks go too. It was then followed by a recorded bulletin from about an hour earlier.

Maybe taking a short break to save money!!

Afterall the itv1 news contract budget has been cut so much to keep the contract!
