is it my imagination but has anyone ever noticed how similar world business report and business today are?
sorry - am a newbie here and just so glad that there are people out there who take business news as seriously as I do!
World Business Report was the original business news programme on BBC World, and has been for many years. News 24 eventually re-broadcast a couple of editions in the middle of the night as fillers, which continues to this day. For as long as I have been watching BBC World, WBR at 21.30 has been double-headed by a presenter in New York and one in London.
In 2001, News 24 launched its own mainly domestic business programme, called Business Today. It was originally hosted by Nils Blythe in London. After a couple of years, it moved from 20.30 to its current home of 22.30 (replacing HardTalk), and took on the same format as WBR, with the same two presenters in NY and London.
