BBC Newsline is the BBC's regional television news service for Northern Ireland. The programme is broadcast on BBC One from BBC Northern Ireland's headquarters in Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast.
The BBC Newsline team produce a series of short bulletins, usually 5-10 minutes in length seven days a week, and a 30 minute evening news bulletin on Monday to Friday evenings.
As well as being available via all multi-channel outlets in Northern Ireland (including via Sky Digital channel 101), the programme is available in Great Britain on Sky channel 973 and in the Republic of Ireland on channel 143. As the BBC UK regional TV on satellite service is broadcast unencrypted, it is possible to receive BBC Newsline anywhere in Europe using an appropriate receiver.
In addition to the main studio, BBC Newsline also makes use of studios in Derry (referred to by presenters as the "North West" or "Foyle" studio, and referred to in on-screen captions as "Londonderry" or "Foyle") and Dublin, and the programme makes regular use of outside broadcasts from across Northern Ireland.
BBC Newsline is unique amongst the BBC's regional news programmes in its use of an on-screen DOG throughout its programmes.
