* 1930 – BBC Radio announces that there is no news on that day.

The story of the men's claims was covered by many major news networks, including BBC, CNN, ABC News, and Fox News.

BBC News ( also referred to as the BBC News Channel ) is the BBC's 24-hour rolling news television network in the United Kingdom.

In April 2008, the channel was renamed " BBC News " as part of a £ 550, 000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, complete with a new studio and presentation.

Its sister services, BBC World was also renamed as " BBC World News " while the national news bulletins became BBC News at One, BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten.

The BBC had run the international news channel BBC World for two and a half years prior to the launch of BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997.

Sky News had had a free hand with domestic news for over eight years ( since 5 February 1989 ) and being owned by News International their papers were used to criticise the BBC for extending its news output.

A further announcement by Head of television news Peter Horrocks came at the same time as Bakhurst's appointment in which he outlined his plan to provide more funding and resources for the channel and shift the corporation's emphasis regarding news away from the traditional BBC One bulletins and across to the rolling news channel.

The BBC News Channel moved from the Studio N8 set ( now home to BBC World News ) to what was the home of the national news in Studio N6, allowing the Channel to share its set with the BBC News at One and the BBC News at Ten – with other bulletins moving to studio TC7.

It is expected that the BBC News Channel will relocate, along with other BBC news services including BBC World News to the newly refurbished Broadcasting House in late 2012 / early 2013, after completion of the new television news studios has taken place and it will be relaunched.

It is referred to colloquially as " the Queen's English ", " Oxford English " and " BBC English ", although by no means all who live in Oxford speak with such accent and the BBC does not require or use it exclusively.

It has 32 kilobytes of RAM, and its ROM includes BBC BASIC v2 along with its operating system.

The hardware of the BBC Micro was emulated by a single customized ULA chip designed by Acorn in conjunction with Ferranti.

The Electron was developed during 1983 as a cheap sibling for the BBC Micro with the intention of capturing the low-cost Christmas sales market for that year.

Despite this, several features that would later be associated with BBC Master and Archimedes were first features of Electron expansion units, including ROM cartridge slots and the Advanced Disc Filing System — a hierarchical improvement to the BBC's original Disc Filing System.

Because the WD1770 is capable of single density mode and uses the same IBM360 derived floppy disc format as the Intel 8271 found in the BBC Micro, it was also possible to run a DFS filing system with an alternate ROM, such as the P. R. E. S AP4 interface.

The first used the same graphics processor as the BBC Micro in mode 7 — the SAA5050 — but used software to ensure that it was fed with the correct graphics data.

Although this produced a mode 7 that barely impacted upon CPU performance and gave the same visual quality as the BBC Micro, it remained compatible only with software that used the ROM routines for outputting text and graphics and still used 10 kB of memory for the display.

Alexis Korner gave one of his last radio interviews to BBC Midlands on the Record Collectors Show with Mike Adams and the Late Chris Savory.

In the UK, the BBC Micro based OBBS software, available from Pace for use with their modems, optionally allowed for colour and graphics using the Teletext based graphics mode available on that platform.

During this period, the band teamed up with producer Mark Cunningham on the first-ever BBC Children In Need single, a cover of David Bowie's " Heroes ", released in 1986 under the name of The County Line.

On 18 November 2008 the band released The BBC Sessions, which features songs from the period of 1996 – 2001 ( including the last recordings featuring Isobel Campbell before she left the band ), along with a second disc featuring a recording of a live performance in Belfast from Christmas 2001.

Blackadder is the name that encompassed four series of a BBC One period British sitcom, along with several one-off instalments.

Scott Mills presented his show from 4: 00 pm to 7: 00 pm live from the BBC Bubble in Edinburgh, as did Nick Grimshaw with his show at 10: 00 pm.

BBC Text was considerably more advanced than Ceefax, in that it offered a richer visual interface, with the possibility of photographic images and designed graphics ( as opposed to Ceefax graphics which were composed of simple blocks of colour ).

BBC Text also enabled channel association, the ability for the user to retain their selected television channel visible in one section of the screen whilst viewing the text service, in contrast to Ceefax, which could only be viewed as a full-screen display, or as a semitransparent overlay ( i. e. opaque blocks of colour on top of the television channel, with the black background now transparent ; not ' translucent blocks of colour with a translucent black background ') above the television picture.

The use of letter " i " prefixes and suffixes to denote information technology or interactivity was very much in vogue at this time, notably with the launch of the iMac and the iPod by Apple Computer ; according to the BBC, the " i " in BBCi stood for " interactivity " as well as " innovation ".

Similarly, BBC interactive television services all offered a horizontal i-bar along the bottom of television screens, with four colour-coded interactions linked to the four colour buttons on TV remote controls.

From 2008, the BBC gradually began to drop the BBCi name from its digital interactive TV services also, replacing it with the name BBC Red Button.
