What is Outside Source mean?
BBC OS (referred to as Outside Source when broadcast on television) is a news programme produced by the BBC; it utilises social media in the presentation of its stories. The programme is usually presented by Ros Atkins on BBC News, BBC World News and BBC World Service.
Outside Source replaced a standard edition of BBC World News, which originally was an edition of World News Today. In the UK it replaced the BBC News at Nine along with World News Today on Friday and weekends. Normally between 23 December and 1 January Outside Source is normally replaced by an edition of World News Today at 7 pm on BBC World News and at 9 pm on the BBC News Channel.
According to the BBC: "Outside Source aims to open up the news process, enabling people to discover the latest on the stories that matter to them. An hour-long World Service Radio show is the first element of the pan-Global News format to be brought to air."
The programme was launched on BBC World Service on 28 October 2013; and on BBC World News on 17 February 2014. It began being broadcast in the UK on 1 June 2015, though it has been broadcast during major stories in the past. In March 2017 the radio programme was renamed BBC OS. In 2017, the radio programme was moved to 16:00 GMT to go out at the same time as the TV version. But in July, this was changed to 19:00 GMT to allow an edition of World News Today to be broadcast at 19:00 UK Time. The programme also launched on PBS on 1 January 2020 replacing Nightly Business Report with the series finale ending a 40-year run.
On 30 March 2020, the format of the programme was drastically changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic moving from the balcony studio overlooking the newsroom into Studio C, where BBC World News is based, whilst Broadcasting House was operating with a reduced staffing capacity for social distancing. It's expected that the programme will return to the balcony on 21 June for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, after Ros Atkins had announced on Twitter that the 17th June show would be the last one from Studio C. Although the touchscreen itself, which has formed a major part of OS since it first launched in 2014, will not be returning as part of the main format, with Atkins stating in a Twitter reply, "I'm afraid it's time has come (on OS at least)." It's not yet known what the new format will look like when Outside Source returns to the balcony, though it has been teased by Atkins that they have "worked on something new" and that he's "excited to start using it from Monday."
Outside Source has continued to broadcast on the BBC News Channel, BBC World News and PBS during lockdown, despite other specialised & uniquely branded programmes on BBC News having gone off air since the start of the pandemic.
On the 18 August 2020, the programme was moved to 18:00 GMT / 19:00 BST swapping places with the programme formerly called Beyond 100 Days. It runs for 90 minutes on BBC World News and 60 minutes on BBC News Channel.
