What is "newshour"

Newshour is BBC World Service's flagship international news and current affairs radio programme, which broadcasts twice daily (each edition being broadcast twice): at 1300/1400 and 2000/2100 (GMT) each edition lasting one hour. It consists of news bulletins on the hour and half hour, international interviews and in-depth reports of world news. The World Service consider it to be one of their most important strands, as shown in 2011 when it was kept as one of four key outlets. It is also heard in the United States on various American Public Media member stations. The programme comes live from Broadcasting House in London, offering analysis and background on the major news of the day, often interviewing heads of state and government ministers.

Newshour is a rolling international news and sport programme airing on Al Jazeera English. It is Al Jazeera English's main news program. It is mainly shown in one-hour blocks but is also shown in 30 minute blocks. It broadcasts from both of Al Jazeera's broadcast centres, Doha and London, sometimes linked together live. Newshour was also shown live on Al Jazeera America during its time in existence in the morning, midday hours, at 6pm eastern and will be cut in during a large international breaking news story. In 2006, Newshour was the first English language news program to be broadcast from the middle east. All news broadcasts are live.
