Whenever I watch the Saturday's lunchtime news, (11:25) they don't play the full titles because the presenter normally isn't a regular, Sascha Williams, Sally Biddulph, Alexandra Hill - so they play the summary titles used at 11:25 on weekdays which doesn't include an announcement.


But they use the proper closing without credits instead of the weekday 11.25 closing which is a tad strange...

They do! But it's normally heard right at the end of the credits, which does make it sound bad and sound like the programme's overran!

And there's no lunchtime bulletin on Monday due to ongoing TdF coverage ...

It's unusual for that to happen on a weekday that is not a bank holiday. Does Ofcom give ITV an exemption from having to broadcast lunchtime news when a lengthy sporting event, i.e. TDF, tennis, is being broadcast?

Really not sure ... and I don't recall it ever happening before, although I could be wrong?

During Euro 1996, an afternoon match ran into extra time, meaning that the Early Evening News and the regional news were cancelled and Emmerdale was broadcast at 6:50, followed by another match, meaning that viewers who wanted to see news but didn't want to switch to another channel had to wait for News at Ten.

Not so much for sport but for things like the budget and other news events the separate news programme is now usually completely dropped.

Not sure actually what the legal requirements are for news out of primetime - indeed it's possible the only stipulation is for 30 minutes of news in peak and then probably a total amount across the week.

Surely, they could've dropped the 11.25 summary and local weather tomorrow, and slotted in national and regional news/weather at 11.45/11.50am?

Just to clarify the weekend news bulletins, usually it's 4 bulletins at weekends. Morning Summary (8:25am or 9:25am), Lunchtime update (More recently been at like 11:15ish, varies in length), Evening News & Late News (15 minutes). With World Cup and now Tour De France bulletins have been disputed somewhat.

RE: Tomorrow's Lunchtime bulletin, it could of been an idea to have This Morning just to go through til 11:40- so it can then fit another item in. Then show an ITV News Bulletin at 11:40, with a regional opt out at 11:56. ITV might have decided that's there is no audience at 11:30 for a news bulletin though?

Did this really need multiple postings, especially when it was discussed at the time... 7 months ago!

I didn't know it was discussed 7 months ago, AND I didn't know when. or if, it had debuted, and it was relevant to all of the threads that I put it in.

Well not really, it doesn't entirely fall under ITV News does it? But it certainly didn't need posting in two threads. I think either the STV News or Scottish Pres thread would have been quite sufficient.

It is a news programme on an ITV Region or, a ITV News programme
