BBC News (TV channel) The presenters listed below often contribute to various BBC News programmes and may have roles in other departments within the BBC. Additionally, some BBC News presenters not listed here occasionally fill in on programs broadcast on this channel. Noteworthy exceptions are the presenters of the domestic programmes BBC Breakfast, BBC One bulletins, and BBC Newsnight simulcast on the domestic feed, unless they are a chief presenter.
A significant change occurred on April 3, 2023, when the BBC consolidated its domestic and international rolling news channels into a unified operation. To spearhead news broadcasts on the merged channel during weekdays, the BBC appointed six (original) "chief presenters". This has since grown to twelve. Among them, nine are based in London, while two operate from Washington DC and one operates out of Salford and Singapore.
Chief presenters The programmes where the presenter is the lead presenter are shown here in bold. Chief presenters work across BBC One, BBC Two and primarily the BBC News Channel. The chief presenters broadcast on the channel between 12:00 and 8:00 London time during weekdays. Chief presenters will front BBC News coverage of editorially significant events on weekends including the BBC Weekend News. News broadcasts outside of these hours, and on weekends are fronted by other BBC presenters, many of which previously appeared on the domestic and international rolling news channels prior to their merger. All Chief Presenters cover BBC News programmes.

Journalists
♦ = Presenter
Foreign correspondents Correspondents typically cover specific regions or countries. However, during major global events, they may be temporarily reassigned to cover breaking news. For example, during the Libyan crisis in 2011 and the Gaza conflict in 2023, correspondents were reassigned to these areas on a rotational basis. While covering these events, they are often referred to as "World Affairs Correspondents."
Correspondents may also be reassigned to cover stories outside their usual posting. For example, Hugo Bachega, Beirut Correspondent, became a "Middle East Correspondent" while covering the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. These correspondents are also supported by the BBC World Service foreign language services, in particular BBC Arabic and BBC Perisan, as well as the specialist investigations unit.
Additionally, correspondents may be reassigned to cover for colleagues on vacation, especially during peak travel times such as the British summer period and Christmas.
Due to the BBC's history and structure there are BBC News Editors and BBC World Service Regional Editors, the distinction between these roles has largely disappeared as the News operations have become streamlined, Regional Editors aid BBC News in times when the Editor is not available.

International Editor Jeremy Bowen
