News At Ten could be back at a different time
The Independent Television Commission has said it will issue a "legally binding" direction to ITV to force the network to bring the eleven o'clock news forward if it does not return to the News at Ten. In a statement released just after 2pm, but an hour later than advertised because of an over running programme, the ITC said, "Eleven o'clock is too late for the News at Ten, so unless it goes back to ten o'clock we will taken legal action to move it earlier than eleven. Eight would be too early and nine would clash with a programme on the BBC called The Nine O'clock News, so ten seems the best time to have it, hence the name News at Ten". All times are BST.
