5. I need information on a show, the broadcast date of which I know, but there is no PI. Why not?

As soon as the PI (Programme Information) for a show has been signed off and is confirmed in the schedules, we publish it at http://www.itv.com/PressCentre/programmeinformation/default.html. Generally we aim to have PI for the soaps and long-running programmes up on the site by Tuesday two weeks in advance. PI for other shows should be up by Wednesday two weeks in advance. Please note that most PI is under embargo from press and non commercial publication until certain dates (as specified).

If you are on a deadline and the PI is not available, email us at itvpresscentre@itv.com with the show you are covering and your deadline.

Please note: Due to our Programme Prioritisation System, the ITV Press Office does not publicise all programmes across the ITV Network.  Many programmes will have billings information only.  This is provided to publications on a subscription bases by Red Bee broadcast data services. www.bds.tv
