2002 marked the point where the ITV News bulletins lost the "From ITN" in the introduction announcement as seen here, with just "The ITV News" being the introduction by the voice over. I think the change happened in the new year of 2002.

Carlton and Granada merged to form the new ITV plc company, making the start of losing regional identity and becoming just one channel, rather than have smaller franchise companies make up the channel. The dropped it around the new year of 2002.
