Action Tidings was the name of a media news outlet broadcast from a studio in the Action Tidings Tower in the Ugnaught city of Ugnorgrad, one kilometer below Cloud City on the planet Bespin. Ugnaught reporters would broadcast live feeds of daily events from within the confines of their floatboat caravans, held aloft by large bladders filled with tibanna gas. Three years after the Battle of Yavin, an Action Tidings news anchor named Ars Fivvle and his cameraman, Pordy, recorded the Rebel coup against the Imperial administrator of Cloud City, Captain Hugo Treece.
The episode Ugnaughts' Progress was the last Action Tidings episode by Ars Fivvle, including a look back at 50 years of past broadcast footage.
