The BBC News at Six is the evening news programme bulletin from the BBC. Produced by BBC News, the programme is broadcast on the UK feed of BBC News channel and on British television channel BBC One on weekdays at 6:00pm. For a long period, the BBC News at Six was the most watched news programme in the UK but since 2006 it has been overtaken by the BBC News at Ten (10:00pm). On average it is watched by four million viewers.
The programme is presented by Fiona Bruce, George Alagiah, Sophie Raworth, Clive Myrie and Reeta Chakrabarti.
Huw Edwards occasionally appears in the event of a major news story and as a backup presenter for when other hosts are unavailable.
In late 2007 the length of the programme was shortened from 30 minutes to 28 minutes to allow for a news summary being shown on BBC One at 7:58pm.
On 8 May 2017, SBS in Australia began airing BBC News at Six during their English-language news programming segment. It is broadcast at 7:00am every day on delay from Britain.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the bulletin was extended to 33 minutes.
The programme is usually not broadcast on the international feed of BBC News channel and is meant for UK viewers only. However, during special occassions or major stories such as UK government collapse, the programme is simulcast on the international feed, carrying BBC News at Six branding and title sequence, although listed on the guide as simply BBC News.
