TV3 is reorganising its news and sports division in preparation for its HD studio at its Ballymount premises in Dublin. The station plans to close down its Galway bureau at the end of February. Camera and reporting crews will in future be despatched from Dublin for coverage of breaking stories in the west.
TV3’s News at 5.30pm, presented by Alan Cantwell, pictured above with Nora Owen, is to have a new format with an emphasis on more live interviews and an increased story count. Meanwhile, Sky Media Ireland has announced it plans to launch two new channels, Sky Living+1 in March and Sky 2 from April.
