ITV News is the afternoon news programme on the British television network ITV, and is produced by ITN. It airs from Monday to Friday at 1:30pm.

The programme is presented by a single newscaster; however in the event of a major story, another newscaster will be on location. The programme features twenty-five minutes of national and international news as well as a weather forecast, followed by five minutes of regional news from the ITV regions at 1:55pm.

History

The first ITN lunchtime bulletin was launched on 16 October 1972 - First Report aired at 12:40pm and was anchored by Robert Kee. On 7 January 1974 First Report was moved to 1:00pm. On 13 September 1976 Leonard Parkin and Peter Sissons began alternating as the programme's main newscasters, and First Report was renamed News at One.

On 20 July 1987, the programme moved to 12:30pm (and thus renamed News at 12:30), and Julia Somerville made a move from the BBC to become the main newscaster. Jon Snow also presented the programme at this time. The following year, on 28 March 1988 [1] A year later, a revamp in ITV's daytime schedules saw the bulletin moved back to 1:00pm and became News at One again on 28 March 1988.[2] A more comprehensive relaunch, with a new set and graphics, came in Autumn of 1989, at which time John Suchet took over as the main newscaster; in January 1991 the bulletin returned to the 12:30pm slot,(becoming News at 12:30 again) due to the Gulf war.

In 1992 the programme was renamed the Lunchtime News double-headed presentation was also adopted with Nicholas Owen and Carol Barnes becoming the bulletin's main newscasters. In 1995, all ITN news bulletins were revamped using a cohesive blue look, and a further change was made when Dermot Murnaghan and the returning Julia Somerville became the main newscasters.

On 8 March 1999, all of ITV News output was relaunched again, and the bulletin was retitled the ITV Lunchtime News, with John Suchet returning alongside Somerville. On 23 June 2003, the programme reverted to single presentation with Nicholas Owen as the main newscaster.[3] However, dual presentation returned on 2 February 2004, when ITV News received another relaunch, and Owen was joined by Katie Derham. From Monday 11 April 2005 the news was extended to one hour long format as part of the new ITV Day continuity, the final edition being Friday 1 September 2006. Following Monday it reverted to a 25min format but was moved to its current time of 1.30. In early 2007, Owen left for the BBC, and Alastair Stewart took his place.

On 27 July 2009, the bulletin returned to single presentation once again for continuity and presentation reasons, with Katie Derham and Alastair Stewart taking turns to present. Derham left ITV News in June 2010,[4] Stewart still newscasts some editions.

On 2 November 2009 the programme was retitled as ITV News.
