Afternoon Live (2017 TV programme)

Afternoon Live was a programme broadcast on the BBC News Channel between 2:00pm and 5:00 pm. It first aired on 2 October 2017. Very early in the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced presenter availability in the official lockdown periods ended the programme. The final edition was on 17 March 2020. The programme did not return with the merger of BBC News with BBC World in spring 2023. A programme now called Verified Live runs between 3:00pm and 6:00pm UK time, normally presented by Matthew Amroliwala.

Presenters

The programme's main presenter between 2017 and March 2020 was Simon McCoy, who tended to present the programme Monday to Thursday. Simon continued to present programmes on the BBC after Afternoon Live ceased but later resigned from the BBC in March 2021.
