Made in Teesside is a local television station serving Middlesbrough and Teesside and parts of County Durham. The station is owned and operated by Made Television Ltd and forms part of a group of eight local TV stations.
The station broadcasts from studios at the David Puttnam Media Centre in the St. Peter's campus at the University of Sunderland with local production staff based in Middlesbrough.
In November 2013, the broadcast regulator OFCOM announced Made Television and Trinity Mirror had been awarded a licence to run a local TV service for the Middlesbrough and Teesside areas. The licence had also been contested by a locally-based group known as TeesVision.
The previous year, Made Television had also been awarded the licence for the Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland areas, which launched as Made in Tyne & Wear in November 2014. There were three other bids for the licence - Neon TV, Metro8 Newcastle and YourTV Newcastle.
Made in Teesside began broadcasting on Freeview and Virgin Media platforms at 6pm on Thursday 30 March 2017. The station is run jointly with its sister Tyne and Wear station from studios at the University of Sunderland with production staff also based locally in Middlesbrough.
On Thursday 25 May 2017, Made in Teesside and its sister channels began carrying acquired programming from the UK & Ireland version of factual entertainment channel TruTV as part of a supply agreement with Sony Pictures Television. The station simulcasts TruTV in two daily blocks from 1-5pm and from 9pm-1am (8pm - midnight on Tuesdays to accommodate America's Got Talent).
