10.25pm Channel 4 News Leeds studio fire alarm

A fire alarm at the Channel 4 News Leeds studio prevented live contributions from there during the second half of tonight’s Channel 4 News.

There was no reference to the fire alarm during the programme.

“I’m afraid we’ve had to evacuate the Leeds @Channel4News studio because of a fire alarm. My Co-presenter @krishgm is dancing solo right now…”

9.30pm The CITV channel has closed

The CITV TV channel officially closed at 9pm this evening.

With a few final ads and a CITV sting, the channel went straight to a looped trail, pointing viewers to ITV X.
