Mercia Reports

Mercia Reports is the primetime flagship news programme produced by Emoa Productions for its Mercia Television. The programme began in 2003 as Spectrum Reports, and airs at 18.00-18.30 on weekdays.

There are three versions of the programme targeted at each sub-region of Mercia. Mercia Reports West is based in Birmingham, whilst the East subregion is broadcast from Nottingham and South from Oxford. Each sub-region targets their respective communities more closely and provides an on and off-air presence in the towns they serve.

In addition to the weekday 30 minute magazine, there are also shorter Mercia News updates throughout the day, including within the Lunchtime News and the Late News. Mercia Weather, sponsored by London Midland (West), Safestyle Windows (East) and The Co-Operative Group (South) is broadcast in full, live on the main magazine, and shorter pre-recorded bulletins are used throughout the day.

Times
All bulletins except the 30 minute 6pm bulletin on Weekdays are branded as Mercia News, with the 6pm being branded Mercia Reports. Verbally however each bulletin has a different name.
