Nick Robinson is BBC’s political editor
MUMBAI: Nick Robinson will succeed Andrew Marr as the BBC’s political editor. Robinson returns to the BBC after three years at ITN where he is currently political editor. Previously, at the BBC, Nick was the chief political correspondent for BBC News 24, a former deputy editor of Panorama and presenter on BBC Radio Five Live.
His role will involve providing authoritative political journalism across the BBC’s television, radio and online output, placing political events and the workings of Parliament and the devolved institutions into context.
He will be responsible for serving BBC News’ flagship programmes, including Today on BBC Radio 4 and BBC One’s Ten O’Clock News. In addition to reacting to events, the role also advises programmes across the BBC in terms of suggested coverage and stories, and the portrayal of political events. The aim is to help ensure a full diversity of voices.
BBC deputy DG Mark Byford said, “I’m delighted Nick Robinson is returning to the BBC. Nick’s passion, energy, insight and political knowledge are matched by his outstanding communication skills and deep commitment to fairness and impartiality. Nick is the right person to succeed Andrew Marr after Andrew’s brilliant period as political editor.”
Robinson said: “I’ve relished trying to give Andy Marr a run for his money over the past couple of years. I am excited and daunted in equal measure at the prospect of now trying to fill his rather ample shoes. The job of BBC political editor is to bring drama, insight and analysis to a subject too many say they dislike but most know they simply cannot ignore. I can’t wait.”

CNBC India unveils new logo, rolls out refreshed identity across network
Debuted at IBLA, the redesign signals a sharper, digital-first future
MUMBAI: CNBC has unveiled a refreshed brand identity across its India network, introducing a new logo and visual system that reflects a more modern, digital-first direction.
The rebrand was officially revealed at the India Business Leader Awards held in Mumbai on March 14, marking the first public showcase of the updated design at one of the network’s most prominent platforms.
The overhaul is among the most visible brand updates for CNBC in recent years, aimed at aligning its look and feel with evolving audience habits and a growing multi-platform presence.
At the centre of the refresh is a redesigned logo that moves away from the network’s long-standing multi-coloured peacock motif, opting instead for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic. A key visual cue is a blue upward-pointing arrow embedded within the letter ‘N’, symbolising forward momentum, growth and a focus on the future.
The new identity is being rolled out across the entire CNBC cluster in India, including CNBC-TV18, CNBC-TV18 Prime, CNBCTV18.com, CNBC Awaaz and CNBC Bajar. The move brings a more cohesive and contemporary design language across television and digital platforms alike.
The rollout began on March 30, with the network aiming to create a unified viewer experience regardless of how audiences access its content, be it on broadcast, online or connected devices.
With this refresh, CNBC is signalling its next phase of growth in India, blending legacy credibility with a sharper, forward-looking identity designed for an increasingly digital news ecosystem.
