FYI Daily is a 60-second daily entertainment news round-up. Broadcast on ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and ITVBe, it generally airs mid-way through films, as an interstitial television show. It is produced by ITN Productions.[1]

History

[edit]

Prior to 2010 it was simply branded as Entertainment News, and before that was Showbiz News, which was initially created for the ITN News Channel.

In January 2021, an extended version of the programme, FYI Extra was introduced to the main ITV channel during the early hour of the morning. This version would air daily in a 15-minute slot, usually at 3am. The last edition aired in January 2022.[2]

Format

[edit]

FYI Daily features news and gossip about showbiz, celebrities, pop culture, and also information and trailers for movies.[3]

The theme music that runs throughout the programme was created by the production company Noise Fusion.[4]
