On the Aire is a local television news and current affairs programme,[1] serving Leeds and surrounding areas. Produced by Made in Leeds, the programme airs at 6pm and 9pm every weekday evening and broadcasts from studios at the Leeds Media Centre in the Chapeltown area of the city.
Overview
First broadcast on the opening night of local TV station Made in Leeds,[2] On the Aire focuses exclusively on local news stories from Leeds, as opposed to the broader regional news services provided by BBC Yorkshire and ITV Yorkshire.[3]
The programme is presented by Mark Kielesz-Levine, with reporters Peter McNerney, Matt Millington, Joe Robinson, Andy Seddon and Kristian Johnson.
An hour-long review programme, Weekend On the Aire, airs on Saturdays and Sundays at 6pm.
In June 2016, On the Aire won Best News Report at the Royal Television Society's Yorkshire Awards for its coverage of Christmas flooding in Leeds.[4] The programme was also nominated for News Programme of the Year, while reporters, Mark Kielesz-Levine and Matt Millington, were nominated for Reporter of the Year.[5]
