A team of five broadcast journalists produce news bulletins every hour, on the hour, between 6 am and 7 pm weekdays, and between 7 am and 2 pm at weekends. A late night bulletin is broadcast at 10pm every night. At peak times (breakfast and drive) on weekdays, supplementary news headlines are broadcast on the half hour. A five-minute bulletin entitled Live at Five is broadcast at 5pm each weekday.
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:
“[In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
