BBC Channel Islands

BBC Channel Islands is the dedicated opt-out service for the Channel Islands.

Local news for the Islands had existed since the 1990s when a short bulletin aired following the BBC Nine O’Clock News. Since 16 October 2000, two evening bulletins have been broadcast at 6:30pm and following the BBC News at Ten – until April 2008, these bulletin had been known as Spotlight Channel Islands. Originally broadcast from a studio at the Fremont Point transmitter, the news service is now entirely based at the studios of BBC Radio Jersey in St Helier.
