BBC World News has also begun broadcasting from its new studio at London’s BBC Television Centre. The new larger studio design has been created to fit with the
recent channel re-fresh.

significant changes this year with our new name of BBC World News and the channel
rebrand. Now our international news talent is in one location, we can further strengthen our output across TV, online and radio platforms.”
