The Hub

The Hub is a news program aired on the international news and current affairs channel BBC World News. The program launched on February 1, 2010, as part of a network-wide refresh and was presented by Nik Gowing. The program aired at 5:00 PM GMT for 90 minutes. The Hub replaced an edition of World News Today and served as a news 'nerve center' for South Asia and the Middle East, providing both headlines and detailed analysis of the global news agenda. An edition of World Business Report followed the program. The program aired its last edition on December 21, 2012, and was replaced by Global on January 14, 2013.
