BBC North West is the BBC English Region serving Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, North Yorkshire (western Craven), West Yorkshire (Walsden), Derbyshire (western High Peak), Cumbria (Barrow-in-Furness and South Lakeland) and the Isle of Man.
The region also covered the rest of Cumbria during the late 1980s, complete with an opt-out television news service for the area, before it was transferred to the BBC North East region owing to high viewer demand. Today, the region is part of the larger BBC North division based at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays.
BBC North West produces regional TV news, current affairs and sports output including the flagship nightly news programme North West Tonight, alongside daytime North West Today bulletins and opt-out updates on weekdays during BBC Breakfast.
Non-news output consists of the topical magazine programme Inside Out North West, a 20-minute opt-out during Sunday Politics and a late night football magazine show Late Kick Off. The rugby league highlights programme The Super League Show, produced by PDI Media at BBC Yorkshire's studio in Leeds, is also simulcast for North West viewers.
