Also available in the first phase of the trial is a tongue-in-cheek look at the last week’s news download called STORYFix.
Adrian Van Klaveren, deputy director of BBC News, said: “This trial aims to give people a range of great BBC News content that they can enjoy watching in a completely different way on new portable devices.”
Ten Weekly will be available every Wednesday, STORYFix and Newsnight will be published on a Friday evening. Later in the year the second phase of the download trial will offer an edited version of Question Time and a morning news briefing, which will be available daily.A range of non-news programming is planned for release as the download trial progresses.
