The main edition of UTV Live airs from 18:00 to 18:30 every weeknight, covering the day's news, current affairs and sport from across Northern Ireland.

[1][2] UTV also has studio facilities at Parliament Buildings, Stormont[3] and news bureaux in Derry[3] and Dublin[3] with an intention to open a further bureau in Omagh.

[11] The station introduced a weekly hour-long Monday night current affairs programme called View from Stormont in October 2016.

[citation needed] UTV Life, a separate live magazine programme concentrating on features and light-hearted stories, was broadcast at 17:30 on weekdays.

UTV Life originally began on 8 March 1999[8] as a stand-alone programme with features reports, light-hearted stories and an extended weather forecast.

[15][16] The series returned in January 2016 in a weekly 30-minute timeslot on Friday nights, following the late UTV Live bulletin and presented by Pamela Ballantine.
