BBC America simulcasts news bulletins from its sister concern, BBC World News, a global news channel seen in 200 million homes around the world.

In the mornings (6-9am ET), the network airs a full, three-hour simulcast of BBC World News. The simulcast consists of editions of BBC World News, World Business Report, Sport Today, Asia Today and a one-hour bulletin called World News Today.

At 7-8pm ET and repeated at 10-11pm ET, BBC America airs BBC World News America, presented LIVE from Washington by Matt Frei. Katty Kay serves as Washington correspondent on the programme; Rome Hartman (formerly of CBS Evening News) is executive producer.

The network was in discussions to unveil a weekly news programme fronted by Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman. He was to introduce a synopsis of Newsnight items with an international aspect and was expected to bring his brash interviewing style to bear on American politicians. "Jeremy Paxman is the sort of person that Americans will just eat up," Garth Ancier told the Financial Times. An international edition of Newsnight debuted on Friday, February 29th in the 10pm time slot. It presents select stories from the week's UK Newsnight.

During major breaking news situations, the network will sometimes take BBC World News's coverage and pre-empt regular programming. The London Bombings in July 2005 were one such example. However, BBC World News itself is not currently widely available in the U.S. as a separate channel (although it does appear on several cable systems throughout the United States, generally in lieu of BBC America).
