Under the terms of the deal, the 5 News team will move to a new base at ITN’s headquarters in Gray’s Inn Road HQ.
“This deal reinforces our commitment to provide a high quality and accessible news service,” said Paul Dunthorne, Channel 5’s chief operating officer.

“5 News consistently delivers distinctive, authoritative news programmes and I am delighted that Channel 5 has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to our innovative and high quality output.”
