In addition to news, Gaumont British and Movietone cinema newsreels had been broadcast on the TV service since 1936, with the BBC producing its own equivalent Television Newsreel programme from January 1948. However, it could not broadcast news before 6 PM until World War II. The BBC gradually gained the right to edit the copy and, in 1934, created its own news operation.
