BBC World News (programme) - Simulcast in The UK

Simulcast in The UK

From 0100-0600 GMT the programme is shown in the UK on BBC One and the BBC News Channel, and is simply branded as BBC News (with the exception of 0500-0600 on weekdays). Commercials are not shown in the simulcast on the domestic channels. Instead, while international viewers take a commercial break, the presenters give a brief update on UK news. As of 13 June 2011 Newsday has replaced the weekday 0100-0500 edition of the programme. As 18 June 2012, Newsday has changed the schedule to 2200 - 0100 GMT every Sunday to Thursday. So 0100-0500 GMT the weekdays programme is branded as BBC World News again.

As of January 2012, the programme is also shown in the UK on BBC Two during 1130-1200 GMT on Mondays-Fridays. There is no Wednesday edition when Parliament is sitting, because of an hour and a half long edition of The Daily Politics to cover Prime Ministers Questions.
