The ITV News at 10.30 was the flagship news programme on British television network ITV, airing Monday to Friday at 10.30pm. It was produced by ITN. It was introduced into the ITV schedule as the ITV News at Ten-Thirty on 2 February 2004, following the demise of the ITV News at Ten. There was a twenty-five minute broadcast of British national and international news, with a dedicated business, sports, and a review of the following morning' newspaper front-pages. It was followed by a five minute roundup of news from the ITV regions around the United Kingdom. Its main rival was the BBC Ten... O'Clock News on BBC One, which consistently beat it in the ratings and aired half an hour before it. Its other main rival was the BBC's other flagship evening news programme Newsnight over on BBC Two. On Wednesday 31 October 2007, it was confirmed that ITV was planning to bring back News at Ten, with presenter Trevor McDonald and Sky News anchor Julie Etchingham. Unlike its predecessors , the programme ran at its regular time of 10.30pm every weeknight, including Fridays.
