News need

Tuesday night's glitches at the start of the BBC bulletin at 10pm (someone/thing boshed the Bash Box) don't seem to have damaged the audience figures - 3.68m tuned in, a 23.7% share of the audience. The ITV News at Ten didn't do badly though - 2.34m, 15% share - exceeding their average 1.8m.

The mini-heatwave boosted ITV's Good Morning Britain on the same day - 861k watched, a 21.8% share, above their 17/18% target. But BBC Breakfast also did well - an average of 1.58m, 38.1% share. Both got good figures on Wednesday, too - GMB 831k (21.7%), Breakfast 1.61m, 39.7%.
