The World Tonight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Tonight is a current affairs radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4, every weekday evening at 2200. It features news, analysis and comment on the day's news. Like other Radio 4 news programmes, it regularly features reports from overseas on international issues. It is usually presented by either Robin Lustig or Claire Bolderson, but makes frequent use of other presenters, including Anne MacKenzie who also presents Newsnight Scotland. However, many are from World Service programmes.

In the U.S., CBS Radio had a weekdaily newscast entitled The World Tonight in the 1980s, anchored by Christopher Glenn. It ran longer, about ten minutes rather than for less than five, than most CBS Radio newscasts of the era.
