== Programming == {{more citations needed|section|date=September 2015}} [[Image:BBC News (UK) channel, new look 19 March 2013.jpg|thumb|right|[[Sophie Raworth]] presenting the first BBC News at One at [[Broadcasting House]], 18 March 2013, 13:00]] === Breaking news === <!-- Please do not replace this section with a schedule, it violates section 1.7.7. of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and may also violate copyright --> The BBC maintains guidelines for procedures to be taken for [[breaking news]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 January 2007 |title=Editorial processes β How BBC News works |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.txt |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071019044637/http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.txt |archive-date=19 October 2007 |access-date=19 June 2007 |publisher=[[BBC Trust]]}}</ref> With domestic news, the correspondent first recorded a "generic minute" summary (for use by all stations and channels) and then priority was to report on [[BBC Radio 5 Live]], then on the BBC News channel and any other programmes that are on air. Since 5 Live's move to Manchester, this has been reversed. For foreign news, first a "generic minute" is recorded, then reports are to [[BBC World Service|World Service]] radio, then the reporter talks to any other programmes that are on air. A key claim made by Lord Lambert in his report had been that the channel was slower to react to breaking news compared with its main rival Sky News.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040404035846/http://tvhome.co.uk/bbcnews24/about.phtml Getting creative breakthrough...-About BBC News] TV Home</ref> To counteract this, a new feature introduced with the 2003 relaunch was a "breaking news sting": a globe shown briefly onscreen to direct a viewer's attention to the breaking news. The graphics relaunch in January 2007 saw the globe sting replaced by a red strapline to highlight the breaking story immediately. To complement this, a permanent live news ticker had earlier been introduced in 2006: this had previously been in use only sporadically. News statements are shown as continuously scrolling upper-case text located at the bottom of the screen; some past ambiguities noted have included spelling the plural of MPs as "MPS", together with other occasional spelling and grammatical errors. The design of this ticker was slightly altered with the 2007 graphics redesign and from June turned red to indicate breaking news, as ''[[Newswatch (BBC)|Newswatch]]'' reported viewers' confusion. The ticker was removed during trails and weather forecasts. [[File:BBC News channel, new look 7 October 2023.jpg|right|thumb|[[Lucy Hockings]] presenting [[BBC News Now|News Now]] at [[Broadcasting House]], 7 October 2023]] A new set of graphics, including a change to font style, was officially launched in July 2019 although it was broadcast in error up to a couple of months before.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 July 2019 |title=BBC News (UK) presentation β Reith launch onwards |url=https://tvforum.uk/thenewsroom/reith-launch-bbc-bulletins-44687 |website=TV Forum}}</ref> The news ticker, which had been a long-running feature of the Channel, was replaced by a flipper as stories no longer scroll across the screen. The headlines now have a limited length and appear in full in turn. The word "BREAKING" may appear on screen and flash to indicate breaking news. Occasionally a breaking news sting may appear on the Channel to call attention to breaking news. This sting gained some notoriety in June 2017 when a technical error caused it to appear several times in a row, delaying the start of the ''BBC News at Ten''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=21 June 2017 |title=BBC News at Ten stops for four minutes over technical fault |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40350006 |work=BBC News}}</ref> Usually the BBC News Channel crosses over to live events, such as press conferences, without using the sting and the presenter on air introduces what viewers are seeing. === BBC World News simulcasts === The BBC began [[simulcast]]ing the channel overnight on [[Terrestrial television|terrestrial]] channel BBC One with the launch of the channel, ending the tradition of a closedown but at the same time effectively making the service available to many more viewers. In the early 2000s, BBC Two also started simulcasting the channel, although the weekend morning show ''Weekend 24'' had been simulcast on the channel in the early days. During major breaking news events, the BBC News Channel has been broadcast on BBC One; examples of special broadcasts include the [[September 11 attacks|11 September 2001 attacks]], [[7 July 2005 London bombings]], [[Operation Red Dawn|the capture of Saddam Hussein]], the [[death of Osama bin Laden]] and the death and funerals of [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Philip]] and [[Elizabeth II]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wilkes |first=Neil |date=1 August 2005 |title=News 24 claims July victory |url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/news/a23123/news-24-claims-july-victory.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328104740/https://www.digitalspy.com/media/a23123/news-24-claims-july-victory/ |archive-date=28 March 2019 |website=Digital Spy}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=21 August 2005 |title=News 24 top for rolling news |url=http://tvnewsroom.co.uk/newsdesk/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1124647138 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117105747/http://tvnewsroom.co.uk/newsdesk/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1124647138 |archive-date=17 November 2007 |website=TV Newsroom}}</ref> In 2020, shared programming between BBC One and the News Channel often included the UK Government's [[COVID-19|Coronavirus]] Daily Update. This was usually broadcast during late afternoons when the Government made announcements. Coverage of major events has also been simulcast on BBC World News. Currently, overnight viewers receive 25-minute editions of BBC News every hour, and on weekdays 23:00β02:00 receive ''[[Newsday (programme)|Newsday]]'', live from Singapore and from London which also includes ''[[BBC Business Today|Business Today]]'' and ''[[Sport Today|Sportsday]]'' between 00:30 and 01:00 and also between 01:30 and 02:00. From 02:00 to 05:00 (00:00β06:00 on weekends) receive ''[[BBC World News (programme)|BBC World News]]''. ''The Briefing'' airs between 05:00 and 06:00 on weekdays. These simulcasts were expanded as a result of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. The BBC introduced a streamlined schedule and the News Channel and BBC World News now share major parts of evening and weekend coverage. From August 2020 this was changed and made permanent to 10:00 to 12:00 and on weekdays 19:00 to 06:00, with opt-outs for ''BBC News at Ten'' and half an hour at 20:30, weekends 21:00 to 06:00, apart from the evening BBC One bulletin.<ref name="bbc.co.uk">{{Cite web |date=15 July 2020 |title=BBC News sets out update on modernisation plans |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2020/news-modernisation-update |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930201229/http://bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2020/news-modernisation-update |archive-date=30 September 2020 |website=BBC Media Centre}}</ref> World News is no longer simulcasted, given that the channel has been merged with the domestic provision, thereby any programming on the News Channel is broadcast as the channel says {{qi|Around the world and across the UK}}. === BBC One, BBC Two and BBC World News simulcasts === ''[[BBC Breakfast]]'' has been simulcast since its launch in 2000 on BBC One and BBC News, replacing the individual breakfast shows that had run on both channels. Since May 2006 until 17 March 2020, the simulcast generally ran from 06:00 until 08:30 during the week. ''Breakfast'' on BBC One continued from [[MediaCityUK]] until 09:15 with entertainment and features, whilst BBC News usually went to [[Business Live]] until 09:00 and reverted to its traditional format from 09:00. Since 18 March 2020, the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] has caused changes to these arrangements. ''Business Live'', which had become ''Worklife'', is no longer on air. Weekdays, ''[[BBC Breakfast]]'' ran runs until 09:00 on both BBC One and the BBC News Channel and there is then an hour of news, which was called the ''[[BBC News at Nine]]'', on both channels. This continued as the first half of two hours of programming on the BBC News Channel, the second hour was usually taken by BBC Two presented by [[Victoria Derbyshire]] on Mondays to Wednesdays and was generally by [[Annita McVeigh]] on the other two days of the week.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home |url=https://cms.bbcglobalnews.com/home/ |access-date=27 May 2022 |website=cms.bbcglobalnews.com}}</ref> [[BBC Two]] simulcasts the News Channel on weekday mornings from 09:00 until 12:15 or 13:00. Coverage switches to BBC One in the form of the simulcast ''BBC News at One''. The ''BBC News at One'' may be broadcast on BBC One only however during periods of breaking news or major announcements in the [[House of Commons]] carried only on the News Channel, if it's an international story coverage will switch for the hour to simulcast with [[BBC World News]]. A similar arrangement applies for the ''[[BBC News at Six]]'', generally simulcast on both BBC One and the News Channel but, as ever, subject to change for breaking news for the News Channel.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TV Whirl |url=https://www.tvwhirl.co.uk/presentation/bbc/bbc-news-channel/ |access-date=27 May 2022 |website=www.tvwhirl.co.uk |series=BBC News Channel}}</ref> The ''BBC News at Ten'' began simulcasting on the channel on 30 January 2006 as part of the ''Ten O'Clock Newshour'', followed by extended sport and business news updates. The bulletin was joined in being simulcast on 10 April 2006 when the ''BBC News at One'' (with [[British Sign Language]] in-vision signing) and ''BBC News at Six'' bulletins were added to the schedule following a similar format to the ''News at Ten'' in terms of content on the channel once each simulcast ends. During the summer, the hour-long programme ''News 24 Sunday'' was broadcast both on BBC One and the BBC News Channel at 09:00, to replace ''[[The Andrew Marr Show]]'', which is off air. It was presented by a news presenter, and came from the main News channel studio. The programme was made up mostly of interviews focusing on current affairs, and included a full paper review, a weather summary, and a news update at 09:00, 09:30 and 10:00. ''[[Sunday Morning Live (BBC)|Sunday Morning Live]]'' and alternative programming now fill this slot.{{when|date=December 2018}} From 2013, a new programme was created for BBC Two for 11:00β12:00 weekdays, consisting of 30 minutes of domestic news and 30 minutes of BBC World News. On Wednesdays, when parliament is sitting the latter is replaced by the ''[[Daily Politics]]'' for coverage of [[Prime Minister's Questions]] (PMQ). In March 2016 the channel started showing ''[[Newsnight]]'' at 23:15. The coverage from 10:00 to 13:00 on BBC Two and the News Channel is part of three-hour block of ''BBC World News'' simulcast due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. However, by the end of 2021 the simulcast had been cut back to a single hour on weekdays, between 10:00 and 11:00 with all-morning simulcasts continuing at the weekend. BBC World News produces the three-hour BBC News / BBC World News simulcast between 19:00 to 22:00 and 23:00 to 06:00, including one edition of ''The Papers''. From August 2020 this was changed and made permanent to 10:00 to 12:00 and on weekdays 19:00 to 06:00, with opt-outs for BBC News at Ten and half an hour at 20:30, weekends 21:00 to 06:00, these exclude BBC One bulletin.<ref name="bbc.co.uk"/> === Current situation === BBC News currently simulcasts all of BBC Television's main BBC One news bulletins β [[BBC News at One]], [[BBC News at Six]] and [[BBC News at Ten]]. On Wednesdays BBC News, simulcasts much of ''[[Politics Live]]'' which is broadcast on BBC Two to provide coverage of [[Prime Minister's Questions]]. After the News at 10, ''Newsnight'' is also aired on the BBC News Channel. All network simulcasts are broadcast on the domestic frequency only. At the weekend, the channel simulcasts most of ''[[BBC Breakfast|Breakfast]]'', but does not broadcast the BBC One news bulletins, but does carry ''[[Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg]]''. === Exclusive programmes === ==== Live news programming ==== * ''BBC News'' β The latest national and international news as they break from the BBC. * ''[[The Context (TV programme)|The Context]]'' β The latest news from both sides of the Atlantic, presented by [[Christian Fraser]] in London (Monday to Thursday).<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Context |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0013pbw |website=BBC |series=BBC News}}</ref> * ''[[Newsday (programme)|Newsday]]'' β Live international news from Singapore.

The programme acts as a morning news bulletin for the [[Asia-Pacific]] region and is broadcast as a double-headed news bulletin with [[Rico Hizon]] in [[Singapore]] and [[Babita Sharma]] in London. ''[[Asia Business Report]]'' and ''[[Sport Today]]'' are aired at the back of the first three hours of ''Newsday''. But Newsday changed to 23:00β02:00 on BBC News a year later meaning [[Mike Embley]] presents Tuesday-Friday ''BBC World News'' 23:00β02:00 with [[Kasia Madera]] on Saturdays and Daniela Ritorto 00:00β06:00 Sunday, 02:00β05:00 Friday/Monday. ''BBC World News'' and ''[[World Business Report]]'' air at 05:00. This was previously known as ''The World Today'', However, since November 2017 this was rebranded as ''The Briefing'' and ''Business Briefing'' on both channels and in lieu of commercials seen on the international broadcasts, the presenters gave a brief update on UK news for domestic audiences.{{citation needed|date=April 2018}} In June 2015, BBC News began simulcasting ''[[Outside Source]] with Ros Atkins'' on Mondays-Thursday at (during major stories 18:00) / at 21:00 and a new edition of ''[[World News Today]]'' Friday-Sunday at (during major stories Monday-Friday 19:00) 21:00. Since January 2017, they began simulcasting ''Beyond 100 Days'' (previously '100 Days'' and ''100 Days +) Monday to Thursday at 19:00, presented from London and Washington. During August, ''Beyond 100 Days'' is replaced by another edition of ''World News Today''. On 26 May 2022, as part of planned cuts and streamlining to create a "digital first" broadcaster, the BBC announced plans to consolidate the BBC News and BBC World News networks into a single service under the "BBC News" name.<ref name="BBC20220526"/><ref name=":0"/><ref name=":03"/> The merged service was slated to launch in April 2023, with the BBC stating that it would offer {{qi|new flagship programmes built around high-profile journalists, and programmes commissioned for multiple platforms}}.<ref name="BBCNews"/> The international version of the BBC News channel remains an advertising-supported service distributed by the corporation's commercial arm, [[BBC Studios]]. The domestic channel may opt out from the shared schedule to provide coverage of UK-specific breaking news, and would continue to carry UK-specific programmes (such as simulcasts of BBC One bulletins and ''Newsnight'') that are not cleared by the international channel.<ref name=":02"/> By the end of 2022, sharing had extended to 23:00β06:00 UK time, BBC News and BBC World News simulcast for the first 25 minutes of each hour with world news shown all through the simulcasts. In addition, the 10:00 hour on weekdays was simulcast and at the weekend, simulcasts run throughout the morning UK-time. The two channels also simulcast between 19:00 and 22:00. UK-specific rolling coverage had, by now, been restricted to daytime hours. As of Wednesday 15 January 2025, The UK feed has begun to simulcast the international feed from the hours of 05:00 to 13:00 BST until it breaks away for [[BBC News at One]] and the 13:30 [[BBC Sportsday|Sportsday]] edition. UK Viewers are now able to watch the 06:30 and 07:30 editions of [[Business Today (BBC News programme)|Business Today]] which were formally shown on the international feed only. The international feed breaks away at 10:30 BST to show [[HardTalk]]. At 17:30 BST [[Focus on Africa (TV programme)|Focus on Africa]] is shown whilst the UK feed stays with [[Verified Live]]. On occasions where there is a significant global story or if there is a delay to the network bulletin, the channel simulcasts the 18:00 editions of [[The World Today (TV news programme)|The World Today]] and the 22:00 editions of [[BBC World News America|World News America]], instead of [[BBC News at Ten]] and [[BBC News at Six]]. It is mentioned that in the case of major UK breaking news [[BBC Breakfast]] would be simulcast.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=The Clean Feed |date=10 January 2025 |title=UK BBC News channel to pilot global feed at breakfast |url=https://cleanfeed.thetvroom.com/22430/news/uk-bbc-news-channel-to-pilot-global-feed-at-breakfast/ |access-date=5 February 2025 |website=Clean Feed |language=en-GB}}</ref> === Sports === Since 5 March 2012, sports bulletins come from the ''BBC Sport Centre'' in [[MediaCityUK]] in [[Salford Quays]], where the sports network [[BBC Radio 5 Live]] is also based. Headlines are usually provided at 15 minutes past the hour with a full bulletin after the bottom-of-the-hour headlines. There are also extended sports bulletins per day, entitled ''Sportsday'' or ''[[Sport Today]]'' (when simulcasting with BBC World News) broadcast at 00:45, 01:45, 02:45, 03:45, 13:30, 18:30, 19:30 (weekends only), 22:30 (weekdays only). Each bulletin is read by a single sports presenter, with the exception of Saturday ''Sportsday'', which is double headed. The channel's sports bulletins (internally known as Sport 24) have always had a separate, dedicated production gallery, which is also responsible for the graphics. Bulletins during ''[[BBC Breakfast]]'' are presented by [[Sally Nugent]] or [[Mike Bushell]], with the latter also appearing on other sports bulletins on the channel. {{as of|2019|March|}} the main sports presenters on the channel are Olly Foster, [[Gavin Ramjaun]], Katie Gornall, Chetan Pathak, [[Katherine Downes]], [[Tulsen Tollett]], [[Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes]] and John Watson. Until March 2012, bulletins came from the News Channel studio at the quarter to the hour. Presenters for bulletins on the channel have included: [[Reshmin Chowdhury]], [[Amanda Davies]], [[Sean Fletcher]], Matt Gooderick, [[Celina Hinchcliffe]], [[Rachael Hodges]], [[Damian Johnson (broadcaster)|Damian Johnson]], [[Adnan Nawaz]] and Olympic gold medallist turned journalist [[Matthew Pinsent]]. === Business === Before BBC News moved to Broadcasting House, an hourly business update was included during the weekday schedule from the BBC Business Unit. There were two shifts, from 08:30 to 14:00 and 14:00 to 23:00, presented by Penny Haslam, [[Maryam Moshiri]], Ben Thompson, [[Adam Parsons]], Susannah Streeter, [[Joe Lynam]], Sara Coburn or Sally Eden. News Channel updates were usually broadcast at 40 minutes past the hour between 08:00 and 23:00. The 21:40 round-up was often earlier and the 22:40 bulletin is an extended round-up of the day's business news. Until May 2009, the business updates on the BBC News Channel were broadcast from one of the [[London Stock Exchange]]'s studios in central London. From then until March 2013 the bulletins were provided from the channel's studio at [[BBC Television Centre]]. The business updates were axed in March 2013 as part of the BBC's Delivering Quality First plan. But after complaints returned in November 2013.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Delivering Quality First |url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/reports/pdf/dqf_newsandenglishregions.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/reports/pdf/dqf_newsandenglishregions.pdf |archive-date=9 October 2022 |access-date=19 March 2013 |website=BBC}}</ref> Stock market updates now only appear during the quarter-to-the-hour headlines. Rachel Horne is the main presenter from 13:30 to 18:00, with Vishala Sri-Pathma, Alice Baxter, Jamie Robertson, Aaron Heslehurst and [[Sally Bundock]]. There is normally an extended bulletin at 16:45 when the main business stories of the day are discussed on ''Afternoon Live''. Bundock and Thompson present ''[[Business Live]]'' on weekdays at 08:30. Declan Curry presented ''Your Money'', a weekly round-up on a Saturday morning. Alice Baxter and [[Sally Bundock]] presented ''[[World Business Report]]''.
