Domestic versions
ITV Network
In 1988, ITN began producing an hour-long newscast called ITN Morning News, broadcast from London at 05.00 GMT and preceding TV-am's Good Morning Britain . It was shown on the stations of the ITV network. Part of this newscast, about half-way through the programme, included a domestic version of Super Channel News entitled ITN World News. It featured the same presenters as the version shown on Super Channel. Trevor McDonald later presented the programme before going on to become chief newscaster on News at Ten . Edward Stourton also presented occasionally. After the Gulf War, ITN World News was no longer shown as part of the morning newscast, and the newscast itself was halved and broadcast at 05.30 GMT, where it resided until December 2012 when the bulletin was axed (albeit as ITV Morning News until 2009, then the ITV News at 5:30 ).
NBC Europe
In 1993, Super Channel was bought by General Electric, an American company which at the time owned NBC in the United States. Initially, Super Channel was renamed NBC Super Channel . Many popular NBC programmes began appearing on the channel: they included programmes like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , Late Night with Conan O'Brien , Saturday Night Live ; and Dateline NBC , The Today Show , and NBC Nightly News With Tom Brokaw . Business and financial news was provided by CNBC and The Financial Times. The channel's own news programme ITN Super Channel News was renamed ITN World News. With the exception of Nightly News, NBC News programmes on the channel were not broadcast live; ITN provided live inserts with the latest headlines. ITN World News expanded to an hour, still in its timeslot of 21.00 GMT (22.00 CET). In 1996, NBC Super Channel became NBC Europe. In 1998 NBC Europe ceased broadcasting. ITN World News ceased broadcasting in the United Kingdom on the day of the channel's final broadcast. During the end of its run on NBC Europe, the programme's main presenters were Richard Lindley and Selina Scott. Towards its final years, its presenters were Katy Haswell and Richard Bath.

ITN World News For Public Television
From 1992 to 1998, ITN made a deal with WLIW to bring ITN World News to public television stations across the United States. [1]
In 1998, ITN made a deal with WNET, the PBS member station for New York City, for a newer version of the newscast to be broadcast from London for public television stations in the United States (it was never, however, part of the national PBS schedule, being distributed by American Program Service). It made its debut on 2 November, with a new set, new music, and a new presenter, Daljit Dhaliwal. [2] The name of the new incarnation of the broadcast was ITN World News For Public Television. Although it made Daljit Dhaliwal a household name in the United States, [3] the broadcast was cancelled again at the end of 2001, due to a lack of funding. [4]
WNET later attempted to produce its own internationally focused newscast, Worldfocus , which at one point also had Dhaliwal as an anchor – but it too was short-lived, airing from fall 2008 to early 2010. In both cases, stations generally replaced the cancelled programs with simulcasts of BBC World News .
TVNZ
From October 1990 until early 1995, ITN World News was broadcast on TVNZ's Channel 2 and, later, TV One. It was usually broadcast at 07.00 NZT with a same-day repeat at 08.00 NZT during the winter months, and at 08.00 NZT during the summer months. The World News was replaced with a direct satellite feed of BBC World.
