/ BBC / 14 September 1970 - 15 October 2000
Nightly news summary. For
30 years the BBC's flagship evening news show and pretty much a
continuation of BBC
Television News. The thirty minute news bulletin was first
presented by Robert Dougal, the
many changes over
the years included the
appointment in 1975 of the first woman presenter, Angela Rippon. Later
additions saw the arrival of John Humphrys and John Simpson. It was a
Nine O’Clock news report that perhaps had more repercussions than any
other. It was Michael Buerk's report of the Ethiopia famine that
inspired Bob Geldof to organise Live Aid.
Another tumultuous change took place on October 16th, 2000. After 30
years in the nine pm slot, BBC One's main late evening bulletin moved to
Ten O’Clock. The BBC Ten O’Clock bulletin has been presented by Huw
Edwards and Fiona Bruce.
