''ITV News Central'' is a regional television news and current affairs programme, produced by ITV Central, serving the English Midlands. ==History == Launched on Friday 1 January 1982, replacing ''ATV Today'', ''Central News'' was initially a pan-regional service based in Birmingham airing a 6pm programme on weeknights alongside shorter weekday bulletins after ITN's ''News at One'' and ''News at Ten''. During the rest of the decade, the region was eventually broken up into three sub-regions, which would receive their own news service. Separate services for the West and East of the region were planned to begin from day one - but an industrial dispute over the launch of the East Midlands service - and the opening of new studios in Nottingham - resulted in the entire region continuing to receive a sole pan-regional programme from Birmingham.〔TV firm's launch disrupted by dispute. By Kenneth Gosling. The Times, Saturday, 2 Jan 1982; pg. 3〕 The launch of the Nottingham-based service was initially delayed for a month,.〔TV launch delayed again. From Arthur Osman. The Times, Thursday, 11 Feb 1982; pg. 2.〕〔Television dispute 'may take months to resolve'.From Arthur Osman. The Times, Wednesday, 24 Feb 1982; pg. 3〕 but the dispute was not resolved until September 1983, when the news service for the East was finally introduced. Within a few months, Nottingham operations were moved from a temporary set-up at Giltbrook to Central's new complex at nearby Lenton Lane.〔http://www.transdiffusion.org/tv/studioone/a_trip_to_giltb Note at the bottom of the page〕 On Monday 9 January 1989, a separate South Midlands service for Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and Swindon was launched from a new computerised news centre in Abingdon.〔(Central News South first edition ), 9 January 1989〕 Thereafter, the Birmingham edition covered solely the West Midlands region (Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire).〔(Final Central News West before launch of Central News South ), 6 January 1989〕 Originally, the main weekday evening programme did not have a different title from other bulletins. This finally changed in the late 1990s, when the title ''Central News at Six'' was adopted – coinciding with being rescheduled from 6.25pm to 6pm. By Monday 24 July 2006, the 6pm programme had been renamed again, to ''Central Tonight'' (except for the South Midlands edition, which retained the ''Central News at Six'' name until its final 6pm programme on 1 December 2006). By December 2006, ''Central News'' bulletins during ''GMTV'' had become pan-regional across all three sub-regions. Weekend bulletins became pan-regional across the West and East Midlands earlier in the year, whilst the South Midlands retained its own weekend bulletins right up until the end of ''Central News South'' on 3 December 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ITV News Central」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
