Ok, apart from H&A coming back, which I won't be watching anyway, what else is happening at 5 next week ?

I understood that they were supposed to be rebranding the news ITN 5 News, they were taking the ITN News Channel at breakfast and will be having 2 half hour bulletins at 5.30pm and another at 7.30pm. I think Charlie Stayt is presenting the 7.30pm.

So, who is presenting at breakfast ? What will happen to the woman on the roof ? Who is presenting the 5.30pm bulletin ? Will there be a 5 News relaunch ?

Anyone know ?

As far as I know, ITN News Channel is broadcasting at breakfast from Monday between 6 and 7. According to the Radio Times it is presented by Rachel McTavish. Wonder if they will have special programming or it will be as normal... will see!

Still listed at 5.30 and 7.30 as 5 News and both broadcasts with Charlie Stayt. I did hear a rumour that they will be doing less news and much more in-depth current affairs (First on Five style) in the 7.30pm bulletin and the 5.30 will be just like the 6, minus First on Five.

Not sure about a relaunch although I would bet on not.

I'd imagine that the ITN feed will be shared between Rachel McTavish and Alison Bell. They both do the 5.30 to 7am slot on different days.
