BBC News 24 is launching the first all user-generated news programme featuring material sent in by the public.

Your News, will be presented by Richard Bilton and reporter Laura Jones, will run weekly features with a wide range of audience driven content.

The programme, which began a pilot run this weekend, will air on Saturdays at 3.30am and 3.30pm, Sundays at 10.30am and 11.30pm, and will run throughout December.

Kevin Bakhurst, controller of BBC News 24, said: "Your News will make use of the huge range of material being sent in to the BBC by the public, some of which has already provided real newsgathering value."

"Your News will reflect the stories catching our audience's eye and talk to them directly about the issues they feel really matter."

The BBC News website receives around 10,000 emails a day with story suggestions, comments and pictures from the public.
