PM, sometimes referred to as the PM programme to avoid ambiguity, is BBC Radio 4's long-running early evening news and current affairs programme. It is currently presented by Evan Davis and produced by BBC News.
Launched in 1970, PM became the first radio news programme to feature its theme tune. It is known for its serious news content and occasional satirical commentary. Evan Davis serves as the lead presenter since 2018. The show also spun off a programme called iPM, which allowed listeners to engage in discussions and influence content through a blog. PM has won awards at the Sony Radio Academy Awards, and its production team also works on other Radio 4 programs.
