Basic Details 
BBC stands for British Broadcasting Channel
BBC is funded by TV licences from the public
"BBC One's remit is to be the BBC's most popular mixed-genre television service across the UK, offering a wide range of high-quality programmes. It should be the BBC's primary outlet for major UK and international events and it should reflect the whole of the UK in its output. A very high proportion of its programmes should be original productions".

Educate Inform and entertain
The Presenters are always dressed formally, they always wear suits sometimes with and sometimes without ties. This communicates to the audience that they mean business and they are serious about their job in hands.
They use a variety of presenters to appeal to audiences as they can relate to different people. Another reason why they would use a variety of presenters is to be different to other news programmes. Some of the presenters are used as interviewers and sometimes they are abroad researching or doing a special interview. Their is a variety of males and females on the BBC also a variety of ethnic groups. The very first shot in BBC is the upcoming news then it moves on to the graphics of the introduction. The opening sequence grabs the audiences attention by using a shot of the studio so the audience knows its live and all their news is up to date. The music is in sync with the graphics to portray a more professional look to the show. In the opening two minutes the stories are shown by a little clip normally accentuated by a voice over. The studio is shown through out the introduction of the show, but then it moves to the main bit where in the cameras are shown this is because BBC want to make the show look much more modern than  others also technological. 
Usually when a show begins the presenters are standing up in front of a huge screen which shows the current news they will be broadcasting. The studio uses colour to brighten up the screen and make everything look professional. The BBC typically present a story by having a reporter live at he scene or having an interview. BBC use many different techniques to make the show look more serious and to keep the viewers interested on of these techniques is Graphics by using special graphics BBC present the show in a different way compared to other shows like channel 4 this is because the BBC have a bigger budget and they tend to take advantage of that. The TV news programme BBC usually cover many different aspects including politics,sport,weather,international news so on and so fourth. AN example of a real news story is Habbo Hotel and the coverage of Tesco's biggest loss in both of these stories the BBC used graphics and interviews to keep the audience interested this was shown in the coverage of Tesco where in BBC used graphics when they made recipients come out of a till stating all the facts about the loss.
26/3/15- BBC News at 6
The top story is French authority's reveal that German pilot crashes plane deliberately this top story lasted for 11 minutes
Prince Charles-10 mins
Saudi Arabia air strike to Yemen-5 mins
Cricket News - 5 mins
60 yr old heart transplant-5 mins
I think these stories were shown for this amount
of time as it is ranked in importance therefore the first stories presented will always be longer as they are more important.
The target audience for BBC news at 6 is the ages from 16 to 35 year olds and their viewing figures are a impressive  four million viewers on average. People might choose this over others because their is more information and they get the best insight into things like the government and poltitics.
Others they offer include BBC One
BBC Two
BBC Three
BBC Four
CBBC
CBeebies
BBC News Channel
BBC Parliament
BBC ALBA
BBC World News
S4C

Ofcom regulates the content of the news to make sure that the stories are not from one point of view and that there aren't any personal opinions or comments.This makes sure that TV news are not bias or give any unfair advantages to anybody. I do think that the BBC dumb things down a bit as they sometimes use unnecesary graphics and effects. The BBC do have a dedicated website where you can find weather updates sports news and anything related to news.
