BBC News is set to move to the newly refurbished Broadcasting House by 2011.
The retirement of Michael Buerk and departure of Peter Sissons from the Ten O’clock News led to changes in the BBC One bulletin presenting team on 20 January 2003. The Six O’clock News became double headed with George Alagiah and Sophie Raworth after Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce moving to present the Ten.
At the time of the changes, a new set design featuring a projected background image of a fictional newsroom was introduced; with new programmed titles were introduced on 16 February 2004 to match those of BBC News 24.
BBC News 24 and BBC World introduced a brand new style of presentation in December 2003 that was slightly altered on 5 July 2004 to mark 50 years of BBC Television News.
The BBC announced editorial changes for the main news bulletins on 8 November 2005, that the roles of individual editors of the One and Six O’clock News would be replaced by one single daytime position. Kevin Bakhurst was introduced as the new Controller of BBC News 24, replacing the position of editor.
Amanda Farnsworth became daytime editor and Craig Oliver was later named editor of the Ten O’clock News. The bulletins were also to be simulcast with News 24, explained by Head of Television News Peter Horrocks as allowing for the pooling of resources.
Bulletins received new titles and a new set design in May 2006, to allow for Breakfast to move into the main studio for the first time since 1997. The new set featured BARCO video wall screens with a background of the London skyline used for main bulletins and originally an image of cirrus clouds against a blue sky for Breakfast. This was later replaced following viewer criticism.
The studio bears similarities to changes made at ITV News in 2004, though ITN uses a CSO Virtual studio rather than the actual screens at BBC News.
A new graphics and video play out system was introduced for production of television bulletins in January 2007. This coincided with a new structure to BBC World News bulletins, editors favoring a section devoted to analyzing the news stories reported on.
The first new BBC News bulletin since the Six O’clock News was announced in July 2007 following a successful trial in the Midlands. The summary, lasting 90 seconds, has been broadcast at 20:00 on weekdays since December 2007 and bears similarities with 60 Seconds on BBC Three, but also includes headlines from the various BBC regions.
BBC News television bulletins underwent their largest change since 1999 on 21 April 2008, with new identities created by the branding agency Lambie-Nairn. The programmed was part of a long-term cost cutting plan at the BBC. BBC News 24 was renamed the BBC News Channel and moved into the same studio, N6, as the BBC One bulletins at BBC Television Centre.
BBC World was renamed BBC World News and the BBC One bulletins renamed BBC News at One, Six and Ten respectively. All the changes followed the redesign of the BBC News website earlier in the year. Regional news programmed were also re launched following the new style.
The studio moves also meant that Studio N9, previously used for BBC World, was closed, and operations moved to the previous studio of BBC News 24. Studio N9 was later refitted to match the new branding, and was used for the BBC's UK Local Elections and European Elections coverage in early June 2009.
