History
Newshour is a long running strand of the BBC's World Service which began broadcasting in 1988. The programme broadcasts twice daily, although each broadcast has in turn two editions. Therefore the early afternoon edition broadcasts at both 12pm and 2pm (UK time) with each edition aimed at different sections of the world. The 2pm broadcast is heard on various Public Radio Stations in the United States at 9am. Newshour's second daily programme broadcasts at 8pm and 9pm (UK time). Presenter, Owen Bennett-Jones claims, "Newshour is intended to provide detailed coverage of the world. We try to provide a level of analysis that's not readily available elsewhere."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
