BBC to cancel afternoon Newsround bulletins after Ofcom approves plans
The children's news programme is being cut from three daily bulletins to just one.
www.radiotimes.comHere’s what’s current about Newsround.
- Newsround has undergone several changes in recent years, shifting more content online and reducing traditional TV bulletins. For example, past updates noted a move away from multiple daily TV bulletins toward a larger online presence and a single morning TV bulletin.[2]
- The BBC has highlighted that this evolution aims to meet how young audiences increasingly consume news—online first, with TV serving as one component of a broader platform strategy.[2]
- Newsround maintains a YouTube presence and online channels as core parts of its strategy, including a dedicated YouTube channel and online reporting to complement or replace some TV segments.[1][6]
