'HOT SEAT' PHONE-INS OFF DUE TO UPCOMING ELECTIONS

The Gazette

February 12, 2026

BEN Houchen's monthly “hot seat” appearances on BBC Radio Tees have been “paused” by the corporation.

- By DANIEL HODGSON

The Conservative mayor of the Tees Valley has participated in regular phone-in question and answer sessions, on the radio station since May 2025, but will not take part in another until June this year as a result of local elections taking place.

In March 2025, Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) Cabinet voted to approve measures that would see the regional mayor undertake two in-person question time events a year - at various locations across the region - as well as appearing on a monthly phone-in on Radio Tees.

The first of these in-person events took place in July last year in Yarm.
