Independent Television News

(For non-UK readers: ITN's moving the Channel 3 News at 10 to 9 - in the interest of ratings for the following movie slot - became the major item of political debate for a week or two. The show famously started with the bongs of the Big Ben clock. Not what you were thinking.)
