Bristol News (branded on air as #BristolNews) is a local television news and current affairs service, covering Bristol, England and surrounding areas. Programmes are produced by Made in Bristol.
Overview
Bristol News originally aired as a twice-nightly programme called The 6 and The 9, carrying news stories from the Bristol area, as opposed to the broader regional news services provided by BBC West and ITV West Country. The programme was rebranded as Bristol News on 5 April 2016.
In February 2017, the weekday programme was axed with shorter updates now airing during the live magazine programme, The Crunch Bristol, each weeknight from 6-8pm. A half-hour weekly review programme continues to air on Saturdays and Sundays at 6pm.
The station's videojournalists are Ed Carter and Yasmin Cooke, with weather presenter Esme Todd.
