***Liverpool Today*** is a local television news and current affairs programme, broadcast between October 2016 and November 2017, serving [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool) and [Merseyside](/source/Merseyside).[1] Produced by [Made in Liverpool](/source/Made_in_Liverpool), the programme was broadcast from studios at Toxteth TV in the [Toxteth](/source/Toxteth) suburb of Liverpool.

## Overview

[Made in Liverpool](/source/Made_in_Liverpool)'s news operation began in December 2014 as part of the newly launched Bay TV - the station aired a rolling service of short local news bulletins throughout the day until October 2016, when Bay TV was brought by [Made Television](/source/Made_Television) after falling into administration.[2][3]

Bay TV's news output was revamped and relaunched on Wednesday 19 October 2016 as a twice-nightly half-hour programme on weeknights entitled *Liverpool Today*.[4] The programme focused exclusively on local news stories from [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool) and surrounding areas, as opposed to the broader regional news services provided by [BBC North West](/source/BBC_North_West) and [ITV Granada](/source/ITV_Granada). Following the launch of sister station [Made in North Wales](/source/Made_in_North_Wales), reporters and presenters were occasionally shared with that station's counterpart *North Wales News*.

In November 2017, following a restructuring of the Made network's operations,[5] *Liverpool Today* was axed and local production was cut. A replacement programme, *Made TV News* - combining local and national news stories - was produced from Leeds but axed in February 2018 in favour of *Merseyside Live*, a rolling block of pre-recorded news, sport and features produced by local videojournalists.
