Ulster Television

Television station that holds the licence for independent television (ITV) in Northern Ireland. UTV first went on air on Halloween night 1959 and, although run on a very tight budget, was gaining a reputation for quality local programming by the early 1960s. Its most prominent productions include the Kelly Friday night chat show and UTV Live, a nightly news programme that received much acclaim for its sensitive coverage of the Omagh bombing and its aftermath in 1998. Although UTV does not formally broadcast to the Republic of Ireland, it has gained a substantial share of the Irish television market, making it currently the third most popular channel in Ireland as a whole and the most popular in Northern Ireland itself.
