details

• ITN (Independent Television News, now ITV News) launched in 1955 and was owned by all ITV franchises, including Associated-Rediffusion.
  
  
• In 1993, ITN became owned by ITV as a whole, rather than the individual franchises.
  
  
• Trevor McDonald was the organisation's first black presenter.
  
  

• Alastair Burnet, who joined ITN in 1955, stayed there for 36 years until his retirement in 1991, and his last bulletin was the News at Ten.
  
  
• When News at Ten was axed in 1999, the viewer petitions and outrages eventually caused it to return two years later.
