From the late 1990s, ITV's long-standing commitment to strong current affairs and documentary programming began to diminish with the ending of productions such as "World in Action" (Granada Television), "This Week" (Rediffusion London/Thames Television), "First Tuesday" (Yorkshire Television), "Network First", "Survival" (Anglia Television), and "Weekend World" (LWT) and their replacement with populist shows such as "Tonight". "News at Ten" was also axed in 1999, although it was reinstated in 2001. In December 2009, the final edition of ITV's long-running arts programme, "The South Bank Show" was broadcast.
