Teletext steps up showbiz coverage

By Press Gazette

Teletext has expanded its output on ITV1 to include more celebrity coverage, with a new tabloid-style magazine section called Total Entertainment.

The section will focus on celebrity, leisure and entertainment news and features, as well as listings. It will cover interviews of popular artists, movie summaries, radio, music and theatre news and a regional events guide.

Total Entertainment will also feed a page digest of local entertainment events to each Teletext region and will link its leisure content to specific events such as Glastonbury or the Edinburgh Festival.
