What's all this 5 News Saturday about? Will it be a proper news programme or more entertainment based? And will it be in the 5 News style?


5 News Saturday will be a weekly showbiz news programme aimed at younger viewers, I'd say mainly between 16 - 25. It will be double headed by two newcommers called Viv Browne and Sam Delaney. Some of the programme will be pre-recorded during the week as the style of the old 5 News at Breakfast on Saturday. It WILL be in the current 5 News style.

This is how it looks; it might look like there is no name because the other job titles have two lines where as the Editor only has one. It really is an ITN thing although he is the Editor he really is the main man at 5 news, although his titles suggests that he edits the programme.

i think 5news should somehow make more referance to the fact it is made by ITN - it would give the show more credibility, (not that it isnt credible), i mean in the way, 'its the as good as the news you get on ITV, but better presented, and earlier'. i really do think 5news could capture some of the ITV evening new's audience if they did that.
