BBC News (TV channel)

The presenters listed below often contribute to various BBC News programmes and may have roles in other departments within the BBC. Additionally, some BBC News presenters not listed here occasionally fill in on programs broadcast on this channel. Noteworthy exceptions are the presenters of the domestic programmes BBC Breakfast, BBC One bulletins, and BBC Newsnight simulcast on the domestic feed.

A significant change occurred on April 3, 2023, when the BBC consolidated its domestic and international rolling news channels into a unified operation. To spearhead news broadcasts on the merged channel during weekdays, the BBC appointed six (original) "chief presenters". This has since grown to twelve. Among them, nine are based in London, while two operate from Washington DC and one operates out of the BBC News studio in Singapore. [3]

Chief presenters

The programmes where the presenter is the lead presenter are shown here in bold. Chief presenters work across BBC One, BBC Two and primarily the BBC News Channel. The chief presenters broadcast on the channel between 12:00 and 8:00 London time during weekdays. Chief presenters will front BBC News coverage of editorially significant events on weekends. News broadcasts outside of these hours, and on weekends are fronted by other BBC presenters, many of which previously appeared on the domestic and international rolling news channels prior to their merger.

Foreign correspondents

The list provided indicates the usual assignments of correspondents. In instances of significant global events, like the Libyan crisis in 2011 or the Gaza conflict in 2023, foreign correspondents may be temporarily reassigned from their regular locations to cover these stories on a rotational basis. During such times, they are often labelled as "World Affairs Correspondents" or, if in Europe, as "Europe Correspondents." Subsequently, they return to their usual assignments. Additionally, this temporary reassignment may occur to cover holidays, primarily in July and August, as well as during Christmas periods. The BBC has a variety of specialist positions also including Regional Editors who are often shared across the world service output also.
