Overview
- Viewers across the UK lost ITV’s local news, which hit Monday evening, during the usual regional bulletin slot.
- Reports pointed to multiple affected areas including Granada in the North West, Yorkshire, Northern Ireland and the West Country.
- Many screens showed a blank ITV News page or an animated regional logo in place of the programme.
- ITV acknowledged a technical problem, apologised to viewers and said engineers were working to fix the fault.
- Service later returned for many viewers, and ITV said its North and South editions would be available on ITVX shortly.
