ITV is preparing a new entertainment show to air nightly at 10pm that could displace the News at Ten for at least eight weeks. It would go up against the BBC’s flagship 10pm bulletin, pushing the News at Ten back by half an hour. “There are occasions when the main bulletin moves for big entertainment event programming or sport. Competition between ITV and BBC led to a war of words between Bradby and BBC anchor Huw Edwards last November shortly after News at Ten’s launch. Edwards wrote in a Facebook post that the BBC bulletin had more than double the viewers of ITV’s show, describing it as “business as usual”.
