ITV Nightly News
The ''ITV Nightly News'' was the nightly news programme on British television network ITV, produced by ITN and broadcast Monday to Friday at 11:00pm. The 20-minute bulletin, originally presented by Dermot Murnaghan, was introduced as part of a major overhaul of news on ITV that saw its 5:40pm '' Early Evening News'' and prestigious '' News at Ten'' programmes axed. These changes proved to be extremely unpopular with viewers and viewing figures declined. The ''ITV Nightly News'' was axed after less than two years and replaced by a reintroduced ''ITV News at Ten'' in order to halt the ratings loss. The revived 10:00pm bulletin followed the same 20-minute format as the ''ITV Nightly News'', and although initially successful, eventually faltered in the ratings due to haphazard scheduling and delayed start times. The ''ITV News at Ten ''ITV News at Ten'' (or more commonly ''News at Ten'') is the flagship evening news programme on British television network ITV, produced by ITN ...
