ITV Nightly News was a 20 minute newscast broadcast between 8 March 1999 – 1 February 2004 as a late evening news programme in the United Kingdom on the ITV network. It aired daily at 11:00pm, and was broadcast from the ITN studios in London. The launch of ITV Nightly News followed major changes to the scheduling of news programmes on ITV which saw the axing of ITN's highly popular and prestigious News at Ten programme which was replaced with the new flagship ITV Evening News programme to be broadcast at 6.30pm on weekdays. The changes proved to be very unpopular with viewers and due to a decline in ratings, ITV moved its late night bulletin back to 10pm for 3 nights a week and the programme was rebranded as ITV News at Ten in 2000. When the bulletin was relaunched at 10pm, the programme was initially successful, although, ratings gradually declined due to the scheduling of the bulletin as it often did not start at 10pm. The BBC also launched its Ten O'Clock News programme in 2000. The final programme aired on 1 February 2004 and was replaced by the ITV News at 10.30.
