Westcountry Live is the flagship regional news programme for ITV Westcountry. It broadcasts weeknights at 6pm.
The programme has been broadcasting since January 4, 1993, when Westcountry took over from TSW. Like most ITV local news programmes, it uses the generic ITV logo and font.
In June 2006, former CBBC and GMTV presenter Simon Parkin joined Westcountry Live as its temporary main weather presenter whilst Kate Reeves was on maternity leave. Simon has since left to join Thames Valley Tonight, following Kate's return to the programme.
