GMT is a news programme that aired weekdays on BBC World News between 1 February 2010 and 1 November 2019. The programme's main presenters were Lucy Hockings and Stephen Sackur, rotated depending on the edition because (as of 2016[update], original presenter George Alagiah was on leave from his anchor duties on GMT), with Tim Willcox serving as a primary relief presenter.
Each programme began with the presenter providing an in-depth lead story, giving the time in that part of the world; the program also featured other reports of moderate length focusing on political, social, health and human rights issues, business and sport news, as well as a brief summary of other news headlines from around the world (however, the programme does not emphasize 'headlines' from BBC World News). Its title apparently refers to Greenwich Mean Time, as the programme commences at 12:00 GMT.
