The ITV News at 1:30 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. Alastair Stewart is currently the main newscaster. 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.
On paper, the ITV News at 1:30 airs in its usual time slot. However, in practice it doesn't, as on working days the national news is scheduled to run from 1:30pm to 1:55pm, followed by a weather forecast, adverts and then regional news from 1:55pm to 2:00pm, then straight in to the next programme. The bulletin usually airs at varying times on Bank Holidays.

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“I see now that we store him up
year after year, old suicides
and I know at the news of your death,
a terrible taste for it, like salt.”
