Award-winning BBC correspondent Matt Frei anchors BBC AMERICA's new, hour-long, U.S.-targeted nightly newscast, BBC World News America, airing weeknights at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT. With a mix of today's headlines, expert analysis, hard-hitting interviews, and roundtable discussions, the broadcast brings the unique, world-renowned perspective of BBC NEWS home to America, Monday through Friday. Executive producer Rome Hartman says, "With Matt in the lead, we mean to bring the world home to America...to cover stories people won't find anywhere else on U.S. television, with the depth and flair that viewers around the world have come to expect from the BBC.

"From Moscow to Tehran to Nairobi to Beijing to Havana, the BBC has great reporters on the ground 24/7. They're not just occasional visitors - they live there, and come to know the story inside out. That reach and expertise gives us the ability to produce a news broadcast with global breadth that no American network can match."

One of the BBC's most highly experienced and respected correspondents, Matt Frei anchors the newscast from the BBC's Washington D.C. Bureau where, each evening, the program offers in-depth reports on the major international and U.S. news of the day. Special packages from the BBC's expert correspondents go beyond the headlines to provide context and analysis on the national and international events that shape our increasingly complex world. And from the D.C. studio, Matt interviews newsmakers of the day and leads roundtable discussions featuring expert opinion from commentators and major players.

Rome Hartman says: "Matt Frei represents the very best of BBC journalism. He has a keen nose for a story, and a powerful drive to be on the scene of momentous events and to explain them to viewers at home. He's a great writer, a great interviewer, and a great storyteller. The best anchors are terrific reporters first and foremost - that's Matt."

Matt Frei adds: "At a time when America is struggling to understand the world, and the world America, the BBC offers a uniquely global perspective to a U.S. audience looking for answers. After five years as the BBC's lead Washington correspondent I am still finding out what makes the most powerful nation on earth tick. The process can be puzzling, perplexing and rewarding. But it is never dull and always enjoyable in a host nation which has been so welcoming to me and my family."

Katty Kay is BBC World News America's Washington Correspondent. Katty brings her wealth of experience as a Washington based reporter to cover U.S. news and politics with a particular focus on Campaign 2008.

Rome Hartman says: "In her four years of anchoring BBC News bulletins from Washington, Katty Kay has developed an impressive network of contacts and sources here, and has done wonders to raise the profile of BBC News in the nation's capital. She has the perfect combination of credentials to spearhead our coverage of the biggest U.S. story of the next year - Campaign 2008. We're really lucky to have an opportunity to get Katty back into the field as our Washington Correspondent, and she and Matt will make a great team."

Katty Kay says: "I'm excited to tackle this challenging role as lead U.S. correspondent for the new BBC World News America program, and to cover a political campaign that promises to be one of the most compelling of our time."
