BBC OS (also referred to as Outside Source) is a radio news programme produced by the BBC and broadcast on the BBC World Service. The programme is presented by Nuala McGovern.[1] BBC OS

According to the BBC: "Outside Source aims to open up the news process, enabling people to discover the latest on the stories that matter to them. An hour-long World Service Radio show is the first element of the pan-Global News format to be brought to air."[2]

The programme was launched on BBC World Service on 28 October 2013; and on BBC World News on 17 February 2014. It began being broadcast in the UK on 1 June 2015, though it has been broadcast during major stories in the past. In March 2017 the radio programme was renamed BBC OS. In 2017, the radio programme was moved to 16:00GMT to go out at the same time as the TV version. But in July, this was changed to 19:00GMT to allow an edition of World News Today to be broadcast at 19:00 UK Time.
