Newsday is BBC World Service's international hard news and current affairs programme. It acts as an afternoon programme for Asia, a breakfast broadcast in Europe and the UK and an overnight news programme for the Americas. It premiered on 23 July 2012. It replaced The World Today and Network Africa, the programme that had a particular focus on Africa. It was expected at its launch that Newsday would have one of the largest audiences - if not the largest - of any radio programme in the world.
