ITN was founded in May 1955 by a consortium of the initial four Independent Television (later ITV) broadcasting companies, with former Labour MP Aidan Crawley as editor-in-chief. The first bulletin was broadcast at 10 pm on 22 September 1955 on ITV& #39;s launch night.

#itv65
The original ITN logo, featuring a large "T" flanked either side by "I" and "N" (all encased within an outlined circle), was used from 1955 up to 1970.
Today& #39;s lookback will begin with a look at ITN& #39;s lunchtime news output up until 1999.

#itv65
The programme was first broadcast on 16 October 1972 as First Report, a twenty-minute bulletin presented by Robert Kee at 12:40pm.

#itv65
The bulletin was moved to 1:00pm on 7 September 1974 and retitled as News at One on 6 September 1976.

These were the original titles...

On 13 February 1989, the introduction of a national weather forecast at the end of the programme led to the bulletin& #39;s timeslot starting earlier at 5:40pm, being extended in length and the title being changed to News at 5.40.

On 2 March 1992, ITN News at 5.40 was renamed the ITN Early Evening News. The new look made good use of ITN& #39;s impressive headquarters in London.
