What happens

BBC London is the BBC's regional television news programme for Greater London and its surrounding areas of the Home Counties. News bulletins are broadcast daily on BBC One in London and the surrounding areas. On weekdays, three-minute updates are aired during BBC Breakfast, a 10-minute bulletin airs at 1:35pm during the BBC News at One, and a 15-minute bulletin airs after the BBC News at Ten. The flagship half-hour programme is at 6.30pm each weekday, after the BBC News at Six, and is usually presented by Riz Lateef, who became the main presenter in March 2006 when she replaced Emily Maitlis. Weekend bulletins are broadcast on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Weather forecasts are included within bulletins, presented by either Kate Kinsella or Elizabeth Rizzini. The weekday evening weather forecast is usually presented from the roof of the programme's production base at Broadcasting House, or at the location of an outside broadcast from earlier in the programme. Other forecasts are presented primarily from within the BBC London studio or the BBC Weather studio. Originally broadcast from studios in Marylebone High Street, the programme moved to the newly-built Egton Wing of Broadcasting House in January 2013. Egton Wing was subsequently renamed the John Peel Wing, after the broadcaster of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
