According to the broadcaster, a new live and breaking news team will offer globally accessible coverage of breaking international news and, when appropriate, a domestic-only stream for UK-specific news events.
During UK daylight hours, the channel will be transmitted from London, followed by Singapore and Washington, D.C.
It’s anticipated that the channel, which will be called BBC News, would debut in April 2023.
“Our goal is to build the best live and breaking video news service in the world,” said Naja Nielsen, director of BBC News digital, “on our web pages, our apps, on BBC iPlayer, and on our new TV news channel. He also said, “As the world’s most trusted source of news, with a huge depth and breadth of expertise, the BBC is uniquely placed to offer audiences the best analysis and explanation as these stories are unfolding. So we are investing in new capability to cover breaking news stories, and our news channel and digital teams will work hand in hand to bring the best journalism to audiences both at home and abroad.”
