ITN is planning a number of small tweaks to Channel 4 News later this year, including new graphics and furniture.

A spokeswoman told the Guardian: “We are at the beginning of the process with creative people looking at how we can revitalise the programme.

“It is about looking at it to see what we can improve. It could be graphics, furniture and lights. We want to modernise the look a bit but it won’t dramatically change the set or how we present the programme.”
