a stepping stone as James Dagwell moved to BBC World News and the simulcast between BBC World News and BBC News Channel overnight as a presenter. Charlene White is now a regular on ITV News. Tina Daheley now co-presents Freespeech, Susannah Streeter is another BBC World News presenter. In October 2013 it was announced by Director-General Tony Hall that the programme would be rebranded to bring it under the Newsbeat banner of the BBC's youth radio station, Radio 1. In March 2014, it was announced that 60 Seconds would be axed as well as its main channel, BBC Three in late 2015. All current programmes on BBC Three would be moved onto the BBC iPlayer website, but it was not revealed if 60 Seconds would be moved online too. However the final decision was announced in autumn 2015. It was now announced that the change would happen in February 2016 with 60 Seconds being axed. The final 60 Seconds aired in the early hours of 16 February with the final words from Sam Naz saying: "Thank you for watching and for all of your lovely messages. Goodnight!" 60 Seconds did not return following the relaunch of the BBC Three channel in February 2022; it was instead succeeded by The Catch Up.
