The ITV News at 5:30 is the early morning news bulletin on the British television network ITV. It is produced by ITN.
The 30-minute programme covers British national and international news stories, a brief business update, a look at the mornings newspapers and regular NBC News segments and broadcasts at 5:30am every day. In the event of a major news story, they will occasionally go live to the scene or cross to the newsroom. The programme is mainly presented by Faye Barker or Charlene White, however, due to their other commitments, often a roster of freelance newscaster or ITV correspondents will present instead.

[edit] History
The programme began as the ITN Morning News on 15 February 1988 with the advent of 24-hour television on ITV. It originally ran for an hour from 5:00am and was the first pre-subscription television outlet in Britain to broadcast regular segments from CNN. The first thirty minutes included a broadcast of the ITN World News, a bulletin intended for the international audience and composed solely of major world stories, and the second thirty minutes focused on national news stories. The practice of including the ITN World News as part of an "hour-long" ITN Morning News ended in January 4, 1993, and the time slot was amended accordingly.
Some EPGs and TV listings refer to the programme as the ITV Early Morning News. In 2 November 2009 the ITV Morning News was renamed as the ITV News at 5:30 to coincide with the re-branding of ITV News output.
