Daybreak Regional News
Macmillan Media produces Daybreak Northern Ireland weekdays at 06.15, 07.15 and 08.15. UTV, the local ITV contractor has not produced the bulletin since December 1994 due to a dispute between GMTV and UTV. UTV were replaced during GMTV (now Daybreak) by Reuters, followed by ITN, then Macmillan Media.
Macmillian Media began providing the GMTV news bulletins in Central and Northern Scotland. The two bulletins, both known as Daybreak Scotland share the same team, and are broadcast from the same building in Glasgow.
It took over the contract when GMTV did not renew STV's contract to supply early morning Scotland Today and North Today bulletins. STV had supplied GMTV with its news since the breakfast channel took over from TV-am in 1993. From its Glasgow office, Macmillan Media began its Scottish service on December 3, 2007.
Macmillan Media lost the contract to provide regional news on ITV in December 2012. The final bulletins will be broadcast on December 21st 2012, with STV and UTV taking control from January 2013.
