Back to basics in other words.Well that’s more or less what they’re doing isn’t it? Protecting other channels (to some extent) at the cost of most of what the news channel currently does.

The BBC were never told to start a news channel as far as I know. World Service radio existed since 1932 but it took them 60 years to start a news TV channel
Given we used nit to have a BBC news channel could they get away with just closing it altogether?
Apart from a skeleton "standby" team that apparently will be available at a moment's notice to spring into action to cover a major breaking UK news story (or so we are told), essentially the BBC News Channel is being closed.
Yes, a news channel from the BBC will still be broadcast in the UK, but the vast majority of the output will be produced by BBC World with the rest being simulcasts of existing BBC output from elsewhere (5 Live simulcasts, Breakfast, BBC 1 weekday bulletins, Sunday with Laura K, no doubt Newsnight, Politics Live and possibly even Question Time will find their way onto the UK feed of the channel as well)
So World viewers will still get a 24/7 news channel, whilst UK viewers will get a mish mash of programs that are available on other UK channels and on iPlayer, with World bulletins filling in the gaps.

It must have been planned before Princess Diana died. It launched two and bit months after her death. Surely they couldn’t have arranged it all that quick.
I honestly thought it was done that quickly because when Princess Diana died it happened in the middle of the night but that particular night they joined BBC world anyway instead if closing down for the night.
I thought I had heard it was rushed on the air so that the BBC had a proper news operation for the UK. Originally it was on Orion satellite for cable distribution at 37 west. It was nit available elsewhere until Sky Digital had it from around late may 1998 but could not be seen there until 1 october 1998
RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Jimbo2022 - 08-01-2023
Looks like BBC1 news bulletins are now only on news channel on weekdays 1300 1800 and 2200.
Weekend News programmes are now only onBBC1. That I had not noticed as I thought these would also return after Christmas
Very sad.

Yeah it is sad we are seeing the slow demise of the BBC News Channel, ebbing away bit by bit, even the newsroom in studio E had dark screens and no one in it.
I think network news was on at 22:20 so wouldn’t have made sense to show it on news channel.

I checked schedules but at o e point news channel had an extension to bbc1 news at weekends. Schedules do not distinguish when the split cones but I had not noticed they had gone from BBC News until today.
Studio E please remind me us that the one One o'clock news cones from on bbc1 during the week also?
6 and 10 are elsewhere but cannot remember which way round it us. And which studio is World from? Thanks

A is the VR set used for Newswatch, its gallery is used for Outside Source; D is used for BBC London (except Six and Ten) and HARDtalk. F is a CSO cupboard.
