Guessing it's due to ITV having an FA Cup match on Wednesday with the potential of extra time and penalties pushing it back to around midnight. Even so you'd think the nations would have prioritised their own political programmes.

How much ability do ITV Wales and UTV have to control their own schedules? With their BBC equivalents, playout is from Cardiff/Belfast and their are local announcers all through the day. The latter at least is not true with ITV, but how much of the former is similar?

View from Stormont definitely dropped from tonight's schedule as Paul Clark who is the presenter of the programme presented the late (and only) UTV Live this evening something he doesn't do when the programme airs. Paul didn't make any mention of View from Stormont being dropped from the schedule. Peston however covering today's events at Stormont given one of the guests being Steve Baker a Minister in NI Office. Good on ITV Wales delaying Sharp End but just wondering how many people in Wales will actually wait up for a heavy political programme close to midnight.

At least one of the reports/features will probably be repackaged for tomorrow's Wales at Six with a prompt to watch the whole programme on ITV X which will help.
