Quote: I can't ever see ITV sticking the News on at 7.00pm, the 7.00pm slot is very valuable to ITV and it would see the audience half at that time, plus it's been home to Emmerdale since the late 1980's, ITV aren't that stupid.
And now look what we have - an hour long news and Emmerdale at 7.30! How times change, eh?
Don’t bank on me making correct predictions, i said in the old place back in the mid 2000’s that News at Ten would never come back. How wrong I was. :lol:
Ha ha - to be fair, I think even ITV would have said the same as you back then. I think it's relatively accepted that News at Ten was only brought back out of desperation - they'd tried 11pm, they'd tried 10.30, neither worked - so in the end the only other choice was to go head-to-head with the Beeb.
