Trust approves change to ±«Óătv Newsbeat’s online services
The ±«Óătv Trust has today published a change to which enables the closure of the Newsbeat app and for Newsbeat’s website content to be integrated into ±«Óătv News online.
The change was approved at the Trust’s December 2016 meeting after seeing evidence from the ±«Óătv Executive that more young people are using the main ±«Óătv News website and app compared to Newsbeat’s online services.
The aim of the changes is to make Newsbeat content available in places where young people are more likely to seek out news content, thereby helping to connect more people to a wider ±«Óătv offering and ensuring that Newsbeat’s journalism is more central to the ±«Óătv News website and digital platforms.
The ±«Óătv announced back in May 2016 in its of its plan to integrate Newsbeat output into ±«Óătv News Online and close the separate app.
The Newsbeat programme remains unaffected by these changes and will continue to broadcast as usual on ±«Óătv Radio 1.
