ITV crashes during lunchtime news as viewers blame 'cyber attack'
22.02.2022 - 20:04 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
ITV News crashed during its lunchtime programme leaving some viewers pondering whether the channel had fallen victim to a 'cyber attack'.
The programme, led by presenter Nina Hossain, was abruptly ended by a technical issue this afternoon.
What should have been the regular lunchtime news was replaced with an error screen apologising for the 'disruption'.

The screen read: "We're sorry for the disruption.
"We're working hard to fix the issue and will return to normal programming soon."
The crisis in Ukraine has been top of the news agenda today after Russia sent troops into the Donbas region of the country following weeks of tension between the two nations.
Boris Johnson described the move as a "renewed invasion" of Ukraine.
It left some ITV viewers speculating over whether the awkward on-air crash could be linked.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "Is this the start of Putin's cyber attack on Britain?"
While another wrote: "Problems being experienced by "itvnews. Wonder if related to Russian cyber attack??"
Another person joked: “ITV gone off air. Pesky Russians.”
However, according to ITV meteorologist Chris Page, the incident was caused by a power cut in the production gallery.
He quickly informed people on Twitter: "National News Gallery seemed to have a power cut just now on @ITV - don't worry. Local news coming up shortly!"
To make up for the disruption, the local news for London at 1.55pm has been replaced by an ITV News Meridian bulletin.
