Article
BBC News is an international English-language pay television channel owned by BBC Global News Ltd. – a subsidiary of BBC Studios – and operated by the BBC News division of the BBC. The network carries news bulletins, documentaries, and other factual programmes; it broadcasts from studios in London, Washington, D.C., and Singapore.
Launched on 11 March 1991 as BBC World Service Television outside Europe, its name was changed to BBC World on 26 January 1995 and to BBC World News on 21 April 2008. On 3 April 2023, the channel's programming and talent was consolidated with the BBC News channel in the UK as part of a restructuring; both channels are now branded as BBC News, and are structured to use a common schedule with domestic opt-outs for UK-specific news coverage and programmes.
