A new, weekly version of "Newsnight", culled from that week's programmes, began to air from 29 February 2008. BBC America is giving it a massive promotional push somewhat symbolic of its consideration of news as one of the cornerstones of the organisation. It is treated with deep respect – indeed, the promo labels it no less than "the BBC's flagship news and current events programme". Jeremy Paxman's inimitable style is heavily featured. The graphics style corresponds to the UK version, however a far more gaudy title sequence was adopted for this version.
