UK360

UK360 airs on Community Channel on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7am, midday, 7pm & midnight.

UK360 is Community Channel's new local news magazine show. It will showcase the most inspiring stories from your communities, made by community news reporters like you, across the UK.

The show is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and the Cabinet Office, with the aim of championing and inspiring community reportage in the UK. We recognise that all great stories start on the street and that you, those living in our communities across the UK, have the best and most interesting stories.

We want to encourage and inspire people to take action in their local area. So if you are a passionate community member and want to raise awareness of an issue or event in your community, make a video report about it and send it in to us. Remember, everyone can be a community reporter. We can broadcast your story to a national audience and it is a great opportunity to trigger public awareness or maybe even stir up a national debate!
