ITN Morning News - 1996

The ITN Morning News, one of the least watched and lesser known of ITN bulletins, airs at 5.30 in the morning before GMTV, usually with slightly reduced usage of the graphics and presenters. Big Ben features heavily in the sequence from the 90s. It was also one of the last to feature the well-respected ITN's name, before ITV started pushing their more tabloidy brand on the news instead.

Wasn't Billy Jo Jenkins killed in 1997, so this cant be 1996.

The specific report is quite possibly from early 1997, I just refer to the general era of these things sometimes (they were using the look in 1996 for example). Exact date is pretty vaguely estimated based upon a combination of Advert dates listed in the breaks, and the fact I'm quite sure it predates June 97.

Yes, but to be fair, both the Morning and Lunchtime News shared this particular theme package! The Early Evening News carried slightly different arrangements of these themes though.

Great look for ITN bulletins... would work very well on-screen even today.
