A significant change occurred on April 3, 2023, when the BBC consolidated its domestic and international rolling news channels into a unified operation.
To spearhead news broadcasts on the merged channel during weekdays, the BBC appointed six (original) "chief presenters".
Additionally, correspondents may be reassigned to cover for colleagues on vacation, especially during peak travel times such as the British summer period and Christmas.
