Technical problems reduce ITV Lunchtime News to one story

Today’s edition of the ITV Lunchtime News was restricted to covering only one story due to technical issues with its video playout capability.

The intermittent interference affecting pre-recorded video material was evident during the opening headlines and opening titles.

A video package for the lead story – the overnight by-elections in England – was played out but was impacted by occasional corruption of the picture.

Immediately after that package, presenter Nina Hossain apologised to viewers: “Well, as you’ve probably noticed, we’re having a few problems with our pictures this lunchtime. So do bear with us and apologies for that.”

The programme then went on to interview correspondents at each of the by-election locations before spending the remaining ten minutes of the programme chatting to political editor Robert Peston and election expert Professor Colin Rallings, again, focusing on the by-elections.

Other stories mentioned in the opening headlines were not covered in the programme.
