BBC Newsline is the BBC's regional television news service for Northern Ireland. The programme is broadcast on BBC One from BBC Northern Ireland's headquarters in Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast.
As well as being available via all multi-channel outlets in Northern Ireland (including via Sky Digital channel 101), the programme is available in the Republic of Ireland on channel 141 and in Great Britain on Sky channel 973.

Programme history
The first edition of BBC Newsline was broadcast on 12 February 1996.[1] Although it was Noel Thompson[3][4] and Lynda Bryans[3] were the original choice of presenters, Noel Thompson was dropped causing Lynda Bryans to resign, meaning the programme's first presenting team were Jim Dougal and Yvette Shapiro.[1] Dougal was replaced as anchor by Conor Bradford after two months.[5] [6]
Newsline introduced teletext subtitles for deaf viewers on its launch.[7]
