UTV Live is a regional television news programme, produced by UTV, serving Northern Ireland.
UTV Live airs seven days a week:
Two bulletins of 10 minutes length are broadcast during the weekend: one on Saturdays, in the late afternoon, and one on Sundays, in the early evening.
The main edition of UTV Live airs from 6pm to 6.30pm every weeknight, covering the day's news, current affairs and sport from across Northern Ireland.
The 6pm programme is broadcast from Studio One at UTV's headquarters in Havelock House, Belfast with short bulletins broadcast from the continuity studio in the station's Central Technical Area. UTV also has studio facilities at Parliament Buildings, Stormont and news bureaux in Derry and Dublin with an intention to open a further bureau in Omagh. The station also makes use of video journalists based in Coleraine, Enniskillen and Newry.
UTV Live was introduced in January 1993 as a new name for Ulster Television's existing news programmes; Six Tonight, the station's half-hour evening news magazine, and Ulster Newstime for shorter bulletins.
Coinciding with the launch of a new franchise, the main nightly programme, UTV Live at Six was extended from 30 minutes to an hour and introduced six months before Ulster Television was rebranded as UTV. The station had previously broadcast a daily one-hour news magazine programme, Good Evening Ulster - the first of its kind in Britain - which ran from 1979 to 1987.
Shorter UTV Live bulletins ran throughout the day, receiving subtitles such as Morning News. and Early Evening News
Between 1995 and January 2013, UTV Live bulletins were not transmitted during GMTV and Daybreak (ITV Breakfast); The breakfast service was previously produced by Reuters, ITN, and subsequently Macmillan Media, following a dispute in 1994 when UTV opted out of GMTV to provide extra coverage of the Combined Loyalist ceasefire.
