===News=== News is at the core of the [[broadcast programming|scheduling]]. A five-minute bulletin is generally transmitted at 01 past the hour, with a two-minute summary at 30 past the hour. Sometimes these are separate from other programming, or alternatively made integral to the programme (such as with ''The Newsroom'', ''[[Newshour]]'' or ''[[Newsday (BBC World Service)|Newsday]]''). In October 2024, it was announced that the bulletins would be broadcast on domestic BBC radio stations during the night.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-15 |title=More job cuts announced as BBC radio stations combine further bulletins and programmes |url=https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/10/more-job-cuts-announced-as-bbc-radio-stations-combine-further-bulletins-and-programmes/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=RadioToday |language=en-GB}}</ref> During such time slots as weeknights 11pm-12am GMT and that of ''Sportsworld'', no news summaries are broadcast. As part of the BBC's policy for breaking news, the Service is the first to receive a full report for foreign news.<ref name="BBC News works">{{cite web|last=Boaden|first=Helen|date=22 January 2007|title=Editorial Processes β How BBC News works|url=http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207054802/http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/review_report_research/impartiality_business/f2_news_submission.pdf|archive-date=7 February 2017|access-date=11 August 2012|website=|publisher=BBC Trust|page=4}}</ref>
