Overview
Tyne and Wear News focuses on local news stories from Tyne and Wear,[1] as opposed to the broader regional news services provided by BBC North East and Cumbria and ITV Tyne Tees. The programme also covers stories from the surrounding areas of Northumberland and County Durham.
Originally broadcast as Bulletin, the programme was presented by former Metro Radio presenter Anna Foster, who left in March 2015 to join BBC Radio Newcastle.[2] The station's then-head of news, Sarah Colley, presented the programme,[3] until her departure in March 2016.
Bulletin was relaunced as Tyne and Wear News on Monday 26 September 2016. The reporting and presenting team are Nathan Lee, Jordan Mann, Zoe Muldoon, Mark Patterson and Andy Sixsmith.
An hour-long review programme, Tyne & Wear Weekend News, airs on Saturdays and Sundays at 9pm.
