BBC NEWS is a current affairs show produced by the British public broadcast service in London, United Kingdom. This recording was captured off-air by Robert Chapman of Auckland University’s Politics Department and forms part of the extensive Chapman current affairs broadcast collection. The Chapman collection contains several hundred recordings of BBC NEWS, primary from 1994 to 1996. The lead news anchors during this period were Martyn Lewis, Anna Ford, Moira Stuart, Jill Dando and Andrew Harvey. In the mid 1990s, BBC NEWS was broadcast in New Zealand on the Sky News channel of the subscription-based Sky Network.
