NETV Focus

NETV Focus is the primetime flagship news programme produced by Emoa Productions for its NETV franchise. It airs on Weekdays at 18.00-18.30, and at various times throughout the day as NETV News.

There are two versions of the programme, one aimed at the North of the region, the other aimed at the south. NETV North's main anchors are Elizabeth Felix and Alex Johnson, and NETV South is presented by Lorraine Borvis and either Thomas Langley or Ted Smith. It began on 14 April, 2006 and was set up as an obligation to NETV's regional contracts. NETV News North is broadcast from Cheviot Studios, Newcastle, whereas NETV News South is produced from Middlesbrough Centre, Middlesbrough. Brands used within the bulletins include NETV Sport, NETV Weather and Emoa Lobby.

Between 14 April and 31 October 2006, it was known as Emoa at Six. It was rebranded as NETV Tonight on 1 November 2006 when a new presentation design was launched on the franchise, and again as Focus on Monday 4 January 2010.

NETV is the only programme on the franchise which carries a regular DOG as a method of regional recognition, carried on all regional bulletins.
