Sixty Minutes (UK TV programme) Sixty Minutes (UK TV programme) Sixty Minutes is a news and current affairs programme which ran each weekday at 5:40pm between 24 October 1983 to 27 July 1984 on BBC1. It replaced the "Nationwide" programme, and like "Nationwide", it also integrated the BBC regional news programmes into a single magazine programme. However, the BBC's News department stoutly maintained its independence from colleagues in Current Affairs, and the first 15 minutes of news was almost a separate programme, followed by 20 minutes from BBC regional news before the final 25 minutes of national current affairs. Accordingly, the format was unwieldy, with
The Bottom Line (radio programme) with a repeat at 5.30 pm on Saturdays. Starting in February 2009 the radio version of the programme was also broadcast on BBC World Service radio. The programme is a studio discussion which generally includes three or four business leaders or entrepreneurs talking about business issues in response to five or six topical questions put to the group by the presenter. Launched on 14 February 2009, a television recording of the show airs on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 9.30 pm on the BBC News Channel.
