ITV Nightly News

ITV Nightly News was a 20 minute newscast broadcast between 8 March 1999 – 1 February 2004 as a late evening news programme in the United Kingdom on the ITV network. It aired daily at 11:00pm, and was broadcast from the ITN studios in London. The launch of ITV Nightly News followed major changes to the scheduling of news programmes on ITV which saw the axing of ITN's highly popular and prestigious News at Ten programme which was replaced with the new flagship ITV Evening News programme to be broadcast at 6.30pm on weekdays. The changes proved to be very unpopular with viewers and due to a decline in ratings, ITV moved its late night bulletin back to 10pm for 3 nights a week and the programme was rebranded as ITV News at Ten in 2000. When the bulletin was relaunched at 10pm, the programme was initially successful, although, ratings gradually declined due to the scheduling of the bulletin as it often did not start at 10pm. The BBC also launched its Ten O'Clock News programme in 2000. The final programme aired on 1 February 2004 and was replaced by the ITV News at 10.30.

CBS News Sunday Morning

The sparkling notes of a trumpet fanfare and the familiar logo of the sun alert viewers that it's time for CBS's Sunday morning staple. Journalist Jane Pauley helms the show, taking over hosting duties from Charles Osgood, who spent 22 years on the job. A morning talk show, this program airs at a different pace and focuses much of its attention on the performing arts. After a quick update of the day's news and national weather, correspondents offer longer-length segments on a variety of topics, from architecture to ballet to music to pop culture to politics.

60 Minutes Australia

60 Minutes, an Australian version of the U.S. television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, airs on Sunday nights on the Nine Network and is presented in much the same way as the American program on which it is based. The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version. Gerald Stone, the founding executive producer, was given the job by Kerry Packer and was told: "I don't give a f... what it takes. Just do it and get it right." After the first episode was broadcast on 11 February 1979, Packer was less than impressed, telling Stone: "You've blown it, son. You better fix it fast." Over the years, Stone's award winning 60 Minutes revolutionised Australian current affairs reporting and enhanced the careers of Ray Martin, Ian Leslie, George Negus, and later Jana Wendt. Since it was first broadcast, 60 Minutes has won five Silver Logies, one Special Achievement Logie, and received nominations for a further six Logie awards.

Tucker Carlson Tonight

Veteran political journalist Tucker Carlson hosts this nightly series that bears his name. Fox News describes the show as an "hour of spirited debate and powerful reporting," with Carlson taking on issues that viewers care about. He is joined by guests to help him discuss issues that don't seem to get much coverage in other parts of the media. Regular segments include Carlson calling out political correctness that goes too far and putting overblown social-media outrage in its place, all done in what the network calls "his signature style."
