ITV1 - Schedule change

ITV1 is now running 15 minutes late, with the News now at 10.45.
What are England, Wales and N. Ireland getting now?
Scottish/Grampian are airing TV's Naighties Blunders.

That has to be the most ridiculous shedule change ever. It's not because the football overran, the football was scheduled to 10.30pm but finished when they ran out of things to say at 10.15pm.

So now the news is shunted to 10.45pm to accommodate a half hour Naughtiest Blunders.

A shambles - just because the English team didn't win, ITV spat the dummy and finished early.

SMG are showing the same as ITV1 London - not a great surprise, given that "Scottish" TV have been endlessly promoting England v the Rest of the World all night...

They were actually running 15 minutes early, but are now 15 minutes late

Not sure why you think there would be a regional variation at this time, everyone is taking the network schedule

I did wonder what they were going to show, they mustn't have any programmes that are 15 minutes in length. Well besides The Planet's Funniest Animals which would hardly be suitable

Wales are showing exactly the same as the network.

Its ridiculous that they make the news run late when the football actually finnished early! Couldnt they have stuck a 15 minute filler in the slot?

.. such as ?

No wonder their commitment to news is questioned when they create their own late running schedule and shunt the news in favour of a few naked boobs, willys and f-words.

Shouldn't they have had some World Cup or Soccer Aid features or reports to run as a filler in order to stick to the published schedule ?

What an absolute joke! Why not at least stay for another 5mins then show Creature Comforts or something?

Bet ITN are scratching their heads, wondering which bright spark thought up that idea!

3 back-to-back episodes of "Get Stuffed"?

Scotland are represented by The Rest of the World

No idea, but they should have had something on standby. Creature Comforts would have been a good one I agree, as thats 10 mins long, so they could have stuck some extra trailers or something on for the remaining time

If ITV were professional enough to be prepared then they would have a stock of "filler" programmes of any length suitable for showing at any time of the day. What exactly does ITV Network Centre do properly?

I notice that they have been sloppy enough not to bother updating the EPG on Sky, at least BBC manage to do that when they alter the schedule at the last minute!
