Newsday is BBC World Service's international hard news and current affairs programme. It acts as an afternoon programme for Asia, a breakfast broadcast in Europe and the UK and an overnight news programme for the Americas. It premiered on 23 July 2012.[2] It replaced The World Today and Network Africa, the programme that had a particular focus on Africa. It was expected at its launch that Newsday would have one of the largest audiences - if not the largest - of any radio programme in the world.[3]
