ITN World News was a newscast shown during the late 1980s and most of the 1990s. It was either shown on cable or satellite television, or shown internationally. The newscast was broadcast from London, England, and was produced by Independent Television News. A domestic (national) version was also shown in the United Kingdom on terrestrial television.
ITN World News began broadcasting on Super Channel, and aired on NBC Europe, Nine Network Australia, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations and most of the ITV regions. The broadcast began in 1987, and has not been seen on (British) screens since 1999. The newscast was produced by ITN and broadcast from its studios in London.
ITN World News began life as ITN Super Channel News, a newscast for the then-newly formed pan-European satellite channel, Super Channel. The newscast began broadcasting in 1987, and its main broadcast was shown live at 21.00 GMT (22.00 CET). Its main presenters were John Suchet, Sue Carpenter, and David Cass. Trevor McDonald and Edward Stourton were later newscasters for the programme.
In 1988, ITN began producing an hour-long newscast called ITN Morning News, broadcast from London at 05.00 GMT and preceding TV-am's Good Morning Britain. It was shown on the stations of the ITV network. Part of this newscast, about half-way through the programme, included a domestic version of Super Channel News entitled ITN World News. It featured the same presenters as the version shown on Super Channel. Trevor McDonald later presented the programme before going on to become chief newscaster on News at Ten. Edward Stourton also presented occasionally. After the Gulf War, ITN World News was no longer shown as part of the morning newscast, and the newscast itself was halved and broadcast at 05.30 GMT, where it resided until December 2012 when the bulletin was axed (albeit as ITV Morning News until 2009, then the ITV News at 5:30).
