BBC News is the department of the BBC responsible for the gathering and broadcasting of news and current affairs. The department is the world's largest broadcast news organisation and generates about 120 hours of radio and television output each day, as well as online news coverage. The service maintains 44 foreign news bureaux and has correspondents in almost all the world's 240 countries. Since 2004 the Director of BBC News has been Helen Boaden. The department's annual budget is £350 million; there are 3,500 members of staff, 2,000 of whom are journalists. Through the BBC English Regions BBC News has regional centres across England as well as national news centres in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. All regions and nations produce their own local news programmes and other current affairs and sport programmes. Radio and television operations are broadcast from BBC Television Centre in West London though are set to move to brand new facilities in the newly extended and refurbished Broadcasting House in Central London in 2012. Television Centre houses all domestic, global and online news divisions within one main newsroom. Parliamentary coverage is produced and broadcast from studios in Millbank in London. Criticism of the BBC in the United Kingdom has generally taken the form of accusations of political bias from across the political spectrum, although the BBC is a quasi-autonomous corporation authorised by Royal Charter, making it formally independent of government. Internationally the BBC has been banned from reporting from within some countries who accuse the corporation of working to destabilise their Governments. In 2005 BBC News celebrated 50 years of news broadcasts. BBC News journalists, cameramen and programmes have won awards over the year for reporting, particularly from the Royal Television Society. The BBC founded the BBC College of Journalism in 2005 as a part of the BBC Academy, following recommendations made after the Hutton Report. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Why is BBC World News now available in the United States? Q. I turned on my TV today, and to my shock, found "BBC World News" listed on the TV guide, logo and all. They already have BBC America, and that doesn't bother me as it isn't the biased BBC news 24/7, but now they've added the actual 24/7 BBC international news network. I called my service provider and was told that BBC World News has now been added to the station line up. Why is this acceptable?

You do realize this costs you anywhere from 3-5 points, depending on how you decide for Best Answer? To answer you question: Freedom of the press, my dear. And you do realize that the Brits are our allies? Answered by Talk Softly & Carry a BIG Stick! - Sun Mar 1 10:40:18 2009 im getting sick of the BBC advertising other BBC programs on the news and current event shows. Anyone else? Q. On a BBC current affairs breakfast program they kept advertising and 'interviewing' contestants on an ice skating program. Then tonight on BBC news they advertise programs for tomorrow and class it as news. What happened to the standards of the BBC? What are we paying out TV licences for, just to be fed the same drivel over and over Asked by theriskbasedapproach - Thu Apr 10 13:47:05 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. That is only one of the reasons that I rarely watch BBC News. Currently we have someone continually bragging that the BBC got the Northern Rock story first; as if it matters. The irritating drumming noise has been the subject of comment for a long time on the Points of View website. Now we have the annoyingly aggressive three-tone BBC signal on the World Service. BBC personnel have been embedded with (i.e. censored by) the US military. The BBC pointedly ignores complaints and says it does not read e-mails. On the other hand, Al Jazeera gives a pleasant, informative and unbiased service. Answered by Ben Gunn - Sat Apr 12 06:49:53 2008 The BBC News service is reporting that Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton may have been autistic. Thoughts?
Q. My 14 year-old brother is autistic, so this news article sparked my attention: I personally don't think they were, and were probably more social than the autistic children I've met myself. Asked by Samian's 10th -Giuliani 2012 - Fri Apr 10 18:23:21 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. What I've heard concurs with Angels. It's that their behavior was consistent with Asperger's sydrome (a form of very high functioning autism). No reputable clinician would actually state a diagnosis for someone who is long dead. It's something consigned to the realm of fun and interesting speculation. Answered by Rico JPA - Fri Apr 10 20:00:21 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "BBC News"
