The Catch Up (British TV programme)
[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!
This page has very little information and there's already been changes to the presenter list, being deleted/re-added. There are no reliable sources or references included to make this TV programme worthy of an article. Possibly link this article to BBC News (at a push).

- Merge/redirect to BBC News#2020s per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I did not find enough coverage for the subject to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. The best source is a Broadcast article that provides significant coverage about the subject. A second source that provides significant coverage would make the subject is notable but I could not find one. There is enough coverage to support a merge to BBC News#2020s. Here are some sources I found about the subject:

The article notes: "BBC3 is to return to news with a bulletin designed to provide young viewers with shareable stories, supported by comprehensive context. Launch editor Amanda Goodman has revealed that the biggest challenge for The Catch Up is getting its 16-24 target audience to engage, when many feel that “the BBC can often feel like it’s for other people, rather than them”. To overcome this, The Catch Up will clearly set out why stories matter and include extra information and value that they won’t get elsewhere. ... The Catch Up launches tomorrow in line with the channel relaunch as a 3-4 minute bulletin covering news, entertainment, sport, ‘good’ news and quirky or viral stories. A single presenter will front each programme, with the rotating team of three comprising Levi Jouavel, Kirsty Grant and Callum Tulley, who have joined the BBC via apprenticeship or journalism schemes. ... Produced by BBC News, the Catch Up will air live once per weekday between 7-9pm, with its slot varying according to each night’s schedule. Each show will be available on iPlayer after TX."

The article notes: "The Catch Up (7.55pm). RIP 60 Seconds. BBC Three’s old bulletins were someone reading the headlines as if their lives depended on it, while a lit stick of dynamite on screen flashed from left to right. The new bulletin, tonight hosted by Levi Jouavel, is longer (180 seconds!) and thankfully more informative. No more news reports that were essentially: “Happy happy sad sad terrible tragedy sad hot celebrity bye!”"
