ITN World News began broadcasting on Super Channel, and aired on NBC Europe, Nine Network Australia, TVNZ, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations and most of the ITV regions.
In 1993, Super Channel was bought by General Electric, an American company which at the time owned NBC in the United States.
During the end of its run on NBC Europe, the programme's main presenters were Richard Lindley and Selina Scott.
[1] In 1998, ITN made a deal with WNET, the PBS member station for New York City, for a newer version of the newscast to be broadcast from London for public television stations in the United States (it was never, however, part of the national PBS schedule, being distributed by American Program Service).
Although it made Daljit Dhaliwal a household name in the United States,[3] the broadcast was cancelled again at the end of 2001, due to a lack of funding.
[4] WNET later attempted to produce its own internationally focused newscast, Worldfocus, which at one point also had Dhaliwal as an anchor – but it too was short-lived, airing from fall 2008 to early 2010.
In both cases, stations generally replaced the cancelled programs with simulcasts of BBC World News.
From the late 1980s until the mid 90s, ITN World News was broadcast on some stations of the Nine Network.
From October 1990 until early 1995, ITN World News was broadcast on TVNZ's Channel 2 and, later, TV One.
