Cool What Are ITV Playing At?

What are ITV playing at. As far as I was lead to believe, they wanted to move the news back till 11:00pm so they could show films uninterrupted(by the news). They get told to move it back to 10:00pm the same time as the BBC News but are recomposed by increased advertising (nice one ITC on both counts).
What do we get this week one film cut in half with the news. And an other cut to ribbons, about 11minutes cut from Live And Let Die. So it can be shown before the news. Yet on Friday no film is shown, and programming made up of half hour and hour programs, but the news is at 11:00pm.
I ask again what are ITV playing at?

Would you believe me if I said I hadn't even noticed this? I hardly watch ITV and I prefer the Beeb for news too Sounds like they're a tad indecisive!

But they have so much quality programming.

There's endless soaps not to mention all the class Saturday night fare. If you want a hard-hitting investigative news programme, there's Tonight with Trevor MacDonald. etc etc.

Yes, ITV is awful. The news is probably the most interesting thing on there. Oh, and maybe I'm the only one, but I find Formula One incredibly boring. We get lots of F1 on itv while the more exciting rally gets a measly 30mins to 1hr of highlights.

We hardly ever watch ITV anymore. The last thing I was interested in that they were showing was Survivor. That lost it's appeal when Wee jon got voted off.

There proberly wont make another as they kept mucking about with the timing. Why put it on at 9.45 pm stupid time of night and then moan it's not getting the ratings they wanted. Stupid *****.
