ITV Weekend News is the national news bulletins on the British television network ITV at a weekend.

However it is often referred to in programme guides as ITV News (morning), ITV Lunchtime News (lunchtime), ITV Evening News (evening) and ITV News (late-night) in line with the respective weekday bulletins. They are produced by ITV News/ITN.

History

[edit]

On 8 March 1999, ITN News (ITN News and Sport, ITN Evening News, ITN Early Evening News (Weekend), ITN Late Evening News) was renamed under the umbrella name ITV Weekend News.

The four broadcasts which air morning, lunchtime, early evening and late-night feature British national and international news stories, as well as a round-up of the weekend's sports news. All bulletins, with the exception of the morning update, are followed by a national and regional ITV Weather forecast. The morning bulletin usually follows ITV's simulcast with CITV.

The ITV Weekend News is presented by a pool of on air staff from across the ITV News portfolio.

The ITV Weekend News presenter also fronts the impending ITV News London evening bulletin only on Saturdays.
