ITV Tyne Tees & Border is a non-franchise ITV regional service covering County Durham, Northumberland, North Yorkshire, Teesside, Tyne and Wear, Cumbria, Dumfries and Galloway, and the Scottish Borders. The service was launched on Wednesday 25 February 2009,〔(Revamped ''Lookaround'' set for broadcast on February 25 ) News & Star, 7 February 2009〕 shortly after the broadcasting regulator OFCOM gave ITV plc the go-ahead to merge two regions, ITV Tyne Tees and ITV Border.〔(Digital Spy - Ofcom 'to allow' ITV regional news cuts )〕 ''North East Tonight'' and ''Lookaround'' titles were retained for the 6pm programme and late bulletin each weekday, whilst shorter bulletins were known simply as ''Tyne Tees & Border News''.〔 On 14 January 2013, the "Tyne Tees" news service rebranded as ''ITV News Tyne Tees'' with the "Border" news service ''Lookaround'' retained.〔(ITV launches rebrand on air and online ), itv.com, 14 January 2012〕 Pan-regional bulletins were then branded as ''ITV News Tyne Tees & Border'' while the existing Tyne Tees monthly political programme ''Around the House'' now also incorporates the Border region. The service covered the Isle of Man until Thursday 16 July 2009 when ''Granada Reports'' (the ITV Granada region) took over coverage of the Crown dependency. The news service is produced and broadcast from the ITV Tyne Tees studios at The Watermark, Gateshead with reporters also based at bureaux in Billingham, Carlisle, Edinburgh, the University of Sunderland and York.〔(Full Border TV Lookaround line-up revealed ), News & Star, 17 January 2009〕 The region was selected in November 2009 to be one of the pilot areas for the provision of the new Independently Funded News Consortia proposed by Ofcom,〔(ITV regional news replacement set for north-east, Cumbria and Borders ) Chris Tryhorn, The Guardian, 26 November 2009〕 however the plan was scrapped in June 2010.〔(ITV local news pilot schemes scrapped ) BBC News, 8 June 2010〕 The amalgamated region was heavily criticised due to a lack of coverage for viewers in the South of Scotland. On 23 July 2013, proposals to reintroduce full regional services for the Tyne Tees and Border regions were approved by OFCOM, effectively leading to a demerger of the Tyne Tees and Border service. On 16 September 2013, ''Lookaround'' and ''ITV News Tyne Tees'' were restored as fully separate regional programmes on weekdays with shorter daytime and weekend bulletins reintroduced.〔(OFCOM sets out licence terms for ITV, STV, UTV and Channel 5 ), OFCOM, 23 July 2013〕 Both programmes continue to be broadcast from Tyne Tees' Gateshead studios with extra journalists recruited for newsgathering in the Border region. ITV Border was also required to reopen its former opt-out service for southern Scotland, previously utilized to broadcast split news bulletins and select STV programming. A minimum of 90 minutes a week of bespoke Scottish programming is broadcast on ITV Border Scotland with viewers in Cumbria continuing to receive network output.〔 The sub-regional service, launched on Monday 6 January 2014, incorporates a thrice-weekly political programme, ''Representing Border'', on Tuesday - Thursday nights and a peak-time feature series, ''Border Life'', on Monday evenings. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ITV Tyne Tees & Border」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
