History
The show launched on 31st October, 1995 as two programmes, Channel 4 News at 7 & Newsnight, screened at 00:15. A 12pm bulletin was added in 1997. The two programmes were not straight bulletins like those on ERTV1, ERTV2 & TV3. The 7pm show often started at 6:58 to get a head-start on other programmes. offered a fast-paced, more wry view of the headlines, carefully segmented into different segments.
