Regional
current affairs move to 成人快手 ONE - Inside Out launches on 9 September
成人快手 current affairs programmes in the North East & Cumbria take
on a brand new look and format from 9 September as they switch from
成人快手 TWO to a new peak time Monday night slot on 成人快手 ONE.
Inside Out is the new name for the programmes which will be
used across the English Regions.
It
will replace the range of individual titles previously used on 成人快手
TWO (Close Up North in North East & Cumbria) and introduce a
completely new approach to engaging audiences with aspects of the
life of their region.
Inside Out will be made and produced locally and will feature three
stories a week: one a traditional investigation, the second heritage/history
based and the third a personality led item.
Chris Jackson, a former Look North presenter and a familiar
成人快手 personality in the North East & Cumbria, will be the presenter
for the new programme, which will be broadcast every Monday night
at 7.30pm.
The move of regional current affairs to 成人快手 ONE achieves a long-held
ambition of 成人快手 programme-makers.
An
extra 拢2 million has been invested into the new series across
the 11 English regions. In the North East & Cumbria, each week
will see Chris in a different part of the region bringing a range
of surprising stories from familiar places.
Newcastle-born Chris says: "I suppose the first surprising
thing about the programme is that when people hear me speak, they
don't think I'm from this region.
"I'm a Geordie, but you wouldn't know it. That's because at
the age of five I had to leave Tyneside and move to Germany. Any
trace of a northern accent was soon hidden behind an American twang
I picked up at a school for US armed forces children.
"The
family eventually moved back to Newcastle and as a kid I remember
watching Mike Neville on 成人快手 television and thinking one day I want
to be doing that.
"It finally happened, becoming one of the regular evening news
presenters, but Inside Out is a new pinnacle for me. There aren't
many jobs that are as good as this."
Inside Out will have an initial nine week run followed by a further
nine weeks next year. It
will share its Monday evening slot with 4x4 Reports and other current
affairs output.
Lorraine Heggessey, Controller of 成人快手 ONE, says: "Being in
touch with our audience across the nation is integral to the channel.
"Inside Out allows 成人快手 ONE to tell the stories that are relevant
to our viewers' daily lives and local area.
"Regional news is already a vital part of the 成人快手 ONE mix and
this is a natural extension of the channel's commitment to giving
viewers the full local picture."
