Channel 4 News Summary

A replacement to the Channel 4 News at Noon in the 12.00pm slot, it first aired on 21 December 2009, giving a five-minute summary of the news.

News at Noon

News at Noon was first introduced in 2003 for the duration of the Iraq war, and due to its instant success, it was kept on in Channel 4's daytime schedule (except when live Horse Racing was being broadcast). It was presented by Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Prior to this bulletin, the programme in the slot was Powerhouse, a political news programme, also produced by ITN.
