The last BBC TV network news bulletins are to be broadcast from Television Centre in west London later.

From Monday the entire BBC news operation will be based at Broadcasting House in central London.

TV Centre has been sold for redevelopment, although the BBC is expected to lease back some studios and office space.

The building opened in 1960 and BBC News was first broadcast from the site nine years later.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s news bulletins on BBC One fronted by the likes of Richard Baker, Angela Rippon, Anna Ford, Moira Stuart and Martyn Lewis attracted audiences of up to 10 million people a night.

Its impact was demonstrated by reporter Michael Buerk's 1984 report on the Ethiopian famine which inspired the original Live Aid concert the following year.

In 1988, as Sue Lawley and Nicholas Witchell hosted the Six O'Clock News, the studio was invaded by a group of women protesting against a law which prevented councils from promoting homosexuality.

By 1998, when news moved into new studios in the last part of TV Centre to be completed, bulletins were being broadcast round the clock on News 24, now the News Channel, which launched the previous year.

Hotels and flats

The main TV news bulletins went on to be presented by George Alagiah, Fiona Bruce, Huw Edwards, and Sophie Raworth, who on Friday hosted the last Six O'Clock News from TV Centre.

The final news bulletin on BBC One will be at 22:00 GMT but the News Channel will continue to broadcast from the TV Centre until 13:00 GMT on Monday.

The first domestic TV news programme from the new studios at Broadcasting House will be Monday's One O'Clock News.

Staff working on radio news, Newsnight, World TV and the news website have already moved into the £1bn extension to the BBC's Broadcasting House headquarters. The World Service, which moved from Bush House, is also based there.

Television Centre, which was sold for £200m last year, closes on 31 March and will be redeveloped into hotels, flats, a cinema and office space.

The main television studios will be retained and refurbished for leasing out to production companies, including the BBC, from 2014.
