WNT now also at 0500 UKT[edit]

Since April 2008, the program The World Today is now another edition of World News Today (it was only a name change). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ginta suou (talk • contribs) 03:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In consequence, anybody should consider to add a description for the 0500 UKT edition. Ginta suou (talk) 03:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nik Gowing section[edit]

In this edition, instead of showing World Business Report, as with other versions, BBC World News' Sport Update programme Sport Today is shown.

I would like to say that the paragraph above is not true. That's why I deleted it. As a frequent viewer of Nik Gowing's programmes, I have seen that the 'attached version' of World Business Report is broadcast at 16.40 GMT (00.40 in Beijing/HK and 01.40 in Seoul/Tokyo). After the attachment, Sport Today (also as an attached edition) is on the air. If you have any comment please discuss this on this board or my talk. Finefir2001 (talk)

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on World News Today. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20100311181209/http://indiaprwire.wordpress.com:80/2010/01/28/bbc-world-news-launches-channel-refresh-with-two-premium-news-programmes-tailored-for-asia-pacific/ to http://indiaprwire.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/bbc-world-news-launches-channel-refresh-with-two-premium-news-programmes-tailored-for-asia-pacific/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
