MUMBAI: From 5 January 2006, BBC World's weekly technology programme Click Online will be re-launched with a new name, look and presenter. Spencer Kelly, who is currently a reporter on the programme, will take over as the main presenter.

Click will report from leading industry exhibitions and conferences to give audiences an insight into the technologies about to enter the marketplace. It will also offer practical computing and technical advice, as well as acting as a trusted guide to outstanding websites. Click will be first broadcast on BBC World every Thursday with four repeats during the week.

Kelly says, "Our new 30-minute programme will offer a comprehensive guide to the latest innovations and developments in computing, mobile communications and gadgets. We'll also have analysis of the wider technological issues, plus interviews that will challenge business, industry and political leaders, whose decisions can affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the globe."

The Click microsite will also show the programme in full each week - bbcworld.com/click - and will offer background information on all of the topics covered on-air, plus online archive with clips and text from previous shows.
