Ireland Live was an Irish television news and current affairs service produced by UTV Ireland. Ireland Live featured national, international and regional news, including extended reports, interviews and sports coverage during its flagship hour-long programme at 10pm on weeknights. UTV Ireland's chief news anchor was Alison Comyn.[1]
The news service was produced and broadcast from UTV Ireland's headquarters at Macken House in Dublin's Docklands, with district reporters and camera crews based at regional newsrooms in Cork, Limerick and Galway. UTV's Northern Ireland newsrooms in Belfast, Derry and the Parliament Buildings in Stormont are also utilised.[2] International news coverage is provided by independent broadcast agency Feature Story News. UTV Ireland's head of news was Marcus Lehnen, with Margaret Ward and Cece Leadon as executive producers.
