A major investment, the 3News Hub will be Ireland’s most technologically advanced News studio. Using the latest News gathering technology, this new infrastructure will provide Irish audiences with enhanced News and Current affairs content throughout the day.
The set was designed to give optimal flexibility in News and current affairs production and will feature the largest monitor wall in the country.
TV3’s flagship 3News at 5.30 will be broadcast live every day from this new News centre as well as 3News at 12.30 and TV3’s other bulletins on be3 at 7pm and 10pm. New current affairs programme, The Tonight Show, hosted by Matt Cooper and Ivan Yates, will also be broadcast from the new facility.
Mick McCaffrey, Head of 3News, said;
“The investment in this multi-million euro 3News Hub highlights the confidence that TV3 and Virgin Media has in our talented reporting team based throughout the country. The Hub will change how News is presented in Ireland and we are keen to take advantage of the cutting-edge technology available to us to bring independent and unbiased news to our viewers across all platforms, quickly and more often, seven days a week.
"It is an incredibly exciting time for 3News with the recent announcement of the appointments of Gavan Reilly as Political correspondent and Fergal O’Brien as News Correspondent. We are looking forward to using this fabulous News Hub to bring our viewers the latest breaking news from first thing in the morning to last thing at night”.
3News airs weekdays at 12.30pm; 5.30pm on TV3 and 7pm & 10pm on be3.
