Outgoing BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Victoria Derbyshire is to present a new programme on the BBC News channel.

After 16 years at the radio station, Derbyshire has described the news and current affairs slot – which will include interviews, discussion and debate – as “the TV programme I’ve always wanted to make”.

Derbyshire said: “It will include the kind of broadcasting I love doing – original journalism, stories that affect the lives of our audience, exclusive interviews, viewer debates and big breaking news.
