Channel 5 as one of the legacy PSBs have an obligation to provide news bulletins which they've been gradually shifting to off-peak to get it out of the way. The ITN operation is low budget and has a tiny on-air team, which is why you'll regularly see correspondents cover the main 5pm bulletin. They also provide a short lunchtime bulletin and headlines at 6.55, 7.55 and 8.58pm on weekdays.
A heavy amount of their current affairs hours is covered by the topical discussion shows Jeremy Vine, Storm Huntley and Alexis Conran which are scheduled from mid-morning to lunchtime, also produced by ITN from the same studio as 5 News.

They don’t do the 8.58 bulletin anymore I don’t think?

5 News at 5 stopping early as usual pre-Christmas, the last edition on 15th December. Which always seems far too early to go off air to be honest.

That seems rather gruelling. I assume he won’t work Fridays on either Classic FM or Channel 5

Not to say radio is less work than TV but compared to BBC Breakfast or 5 News, it's a cushy job on Classic FM,
