evidence: Joe Mahon returns to UTV on Monday 21st September in a brand new series LOUGH FOYLE, a television travelogue series featuring the history, natural environment and cultural heritage of the Foyle catchment area, with particular emphasis on Ulster-Scots elements of the hinterland. Produced by Westway Film Productions, the series received funding from Northern Ireland Screen’s Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund. [...] The series has been part-funded by Northern Ireland Screen’s Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund. Northern Ireland Screen’s CEO, Richard Williams said; "We were very excited when Joe brought his Lough Foyle idea to us. Not only is Joe’s warm conversational style of presenting already incredibly popular with viewers, but throughout his career he has been a great champion of linguistic variation. Joe has always sought to reflect and preserve the natural voice of the people who feature in his programmes, promoting the particular characteristics of local populations that make each place unique. This fits perfectly with the aims of our Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund and we are sure Lough Foyle will be a big hit with audiences while also making a strong contribution to the status and promotion of Ulster-Scots heritage and culture." [...] LOUGH FOYLE is produced by Westway Film Productions for UTV, supported by Northern Ireland Screen’s Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund. The series is sponsored by House Proud Furnishings. You can watch the first episode on Monday 21st September at 8pm on UTV and on catch up on www.itv.com/utvprogrammes.
