In October 2007, ITV chairman Michael Grade announced the return of "News at Ten", following comments he made in March that the original removal of the programme was "a shocking mistake damaged ITV more than anything else." The bulletin returned with its original name on 14 January 2008, broadcast from Monday to Thursday at 10pm, with an 11pm bulletin titled "The Late News" airing on Friday evenings. The revived "News at Ten" saw the reintroduction of the dual-newscaster team, pairing new presenter Julie Etchingham with Trevor McDonald, who had temporarily come out of retirement. Etchingham and Mark Austin presented "The Late News". In March 2009, "The Late News" was dropped in order for "News at Ten" to return to its traditional Monday-to-Friday 10pm slot, giving the programme a "consistent home at the heart of the schedule".
