They've long considered the 10 on the Sunday an extension of the weekend brand (ever since the 10 launched actually). It's usually had the more senior presenters on it - not Huw but the likes of Fiona, Clive and Mishal, rarely seen on a Saturday shift. The news has often rated well on Sundays for both the BBC and ITV hence they generally get more senior faces than the Saturday.
I don't know really why ITV didn't follow suit especially when News at Ten relaunched with Tom Bradby as it is probably more consistently in the 10pm slot on Sundays than some weeknights, and fleshing out that bulletin would offset the nights later in the week they might push it back more. That said though it's nice that the old generic News at Ten titles survive on Sundays at least.
