History
On 8 March 1999, ITN News was renamed 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.
