The '''''BBC News Summary''''' was a news update created by [[BBC News]] originally to target the professional and working market. It was broadcast every Monday to Friday at 8:00pm and 9:00pm on [[BBC One]].
The '''''BBC News Summary''''' is a news update created by [[BBC News]].


Like other [[BBC News]] bulletins it was presented by a sole newsreader, on Monday to Thursday it was usually [[Ellie Crisell]] and on Friday Riz Lateef. After a minute of brief national and international news, a regional presenter provided 30 seconds of regional news headlines and a brief local weather forecast; on BBC One HD in England a national weather forecast was broadcast instead due to there being no regional variations. The 9pm edition was a pre-recorded preview to [[BBC News at Ten]]. The 90 second bulletin was axed by the BBC on 30 May 2018.

Originally BBC news summaries were broadcast during the day and were launched as part of the BBC's new daytime TV service. The first broadcasts took place on 8 December 1986. Lasting for three minutes, the hourly or near-hourly bulletins formed the backbone of this service. Morning summaries were broadcast on BBC1 and early afternoon summaries were transmitted on BBC2. Each bulletin was followed by a weather forecast. The final afternoon news summary of the day was followed by a regional news bulletin. In October 1990, regional hourly news bulletins were introduced and were broadcast immediately after the BBC1 morning summaries. By the end of the 1990s the summaries were broadcast less frequently and they were phased out altogether during the 2000s.

By the end of the 1990s the summaries were broadcast less frequently and they were phased out altogether during the 2000s.

News summaries also began to be included during broadcasts of the sports anthology series [[Grandstand (TV programme)|''Grandstand'']] from around the same time.

The BBC News Summary is a news update created by BBC News.

Like other BBC News bulletins it was presented by a sole newsreader, on Monday to Thursday it was usually Ellie Crisell and on Friday Riz Lateef. After a minute of brief national and international news, a regional presenter provided 30 seconds of regional news headlines and a brief local weather forecast; on BBC One HD in England a national weather forecast was broadcast instead due to there being no regional variations. The 9:00 pm edition was a pre-recorded preview to BBC News at Ten. The 90 second bulletin was axed by the BBC on 30 May 2018. This made the news summary similar to the now defunct BBC Three's 60 Seconds, but ran for 30 seconds longer (as BBC Three has no regional continuity).
