BBC London (formerly known as BBC London News) is the BBC's regional television news programme for Greater London and its surrounding areas. Its local competitor is ITV News London, which is produced by ITN for ITV London.
The bulletin is broadcast seven days a week on BBC One in London and the surrounding areas. On weekdays, three-minute updates are aired during BBC Breakfast, a 10-minute bulletin airs at 1:35pm during the BBC News at One, and a 15-minute bulletin airs after the BBC News at Ten. The flagship programme airs between 6.30pm and 7pm each weekday after the BBC News at Six and is usually presented by Riz Lateef. Weekend bulletins are broadcast on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Lateef became the main presenter of the flagship programme in March 2006, when she replaced Emily Maitlis who left to join the BBC News Channel and BBC Two's Newsnight.
Weather forecasts are included within bulletins, presented by either Kate Kinsella or Elizabeth Rizzini. The weekday evening weather forecast is usually presented from the roof of the programme's production base at BBC Broadcasting House or at the location of an outside broadcast from earlier in the programme. Other forecasts are presented primarily from within the BBC London studio or the BBC Weather studio.
Originally broadcast from studios in Marylebone High Street, the programme moved to the newly built Egton Wing of Broadcasting House in January 2013. Egton Wing was subsequently renamed John Peel Wing.[1]
