BBC One confirms 8pm news summary

BBC One controller Peter Fincham has confirmed that the channel will air a news summary at 8pm every weeknight from the autumn.

"This autumn sees the introduction of a new nightly news summary at 8pm each weekday evening," explained Fincham. "Designed to bridge the gap between the Six and Ten O'Clock news, it joins Panorama, now firmly established in the 8.30pm Monday slot, and The One Show, each weeknight at 7pm."

The summary will be between 60 and 90 seconds long and follows a successful five-week pilot in Birmingham.
