Dedicated sports bulletins are broadcast at 8.30am, 1pm and 5.30pm, alongside reports within the hourly news bulletins and a scores & results service during Saturday afternoons.
Other bulletins include a nightly business round-up at 6pm on weeknights and the Energy Zone weekdays at 7.30am for the North-East's oil & gas and renewables sectors.
Traffic and travel bulletins are broadcast during peak travel times (breakfast and drivetime), accompanied by 'Jambuster' reports when there is major congestion at any time.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or sport:
“I wouldn’t interfere with the actual news itself, but TV is show biz, Max, and even the news has to have a little showmanship.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
