ITV Tyne Tees broadcasts from Television House at The Watermark, Gateshead, following their relocation from their famous home of over 40 years at City Road Studios in Newcastle upon Tyne. The first broadcasts from our new home took place on 2 July 2005.
Television House also acts as a base for ITV SignPost, 'Britain's biggest supplier of British Sign Language (BSL) services for television, video, CD-ROM, DVD, film and the Internet'. Tyne Tees also has smaller studios and offices in Billingham, York, London and within the Media Centre at the University of Sunderland.
Tyne Tees is one of the UK's first and longest-running ITV franchises, having made its first broadcast at 5pm on 15th January, 1959. Tyne Tees Television's flagship regional programme is North East Tonight, presented by Jonathan Morrell and Philippa Tomson, in the North of the region and and presented by Pam Royle and Ian Payne in the South.
As well as news and our regional shows, Tyne Tees also produces a range of popular shows for dozens of channels in both the domestic and international markets.
