Overview
- Rachel Corp, who resigned Tuesday with immediate effect, will stay until May 22 to support the handover.
- Ian Rumsey takes charge at once after leading ITN Productions and serving in senior editorial roles since 2005.
- His appointment follows reports last month that he planned to join Zinc Media Group, a move he has now set aside.
- ITN produces ITV News, Channel 4 News, 5 News and, since early 2026, ITV’s Good Morning Britain, so leadership stability touches daily national broadcasts.
- The company reported its weakest profit in a decade in 2024 after a 41% drop in non-news revenue, and ongoing talks about a potential ITV sale to Sky add uncertainty for a key client.
