They've never responded to the need so far so doubt anything will change though may just be a shorter bulletin those weeks.
Olympics wise it's probably more beneficial to switch to BBC2 for an hour/1h15m that for 45 minutes. Feels less disruptive when the chanbel changes are for longer periods.

This is a bit of an odd post from BBC North…

I presume by ‘new studio’, they mean the current studio rather than Breakfast moving again.

Yeah, ITV cut their 6.30pm news back to half an hour where needed, for example when the football or rugby are on. I can see the BBC just doing the same thing with the News at One.

Does that mean the regional news disappears from 1:30pm?
RE: BBC News Reforms - Rolling News - 30-11-2023
Does anyone remember the period when News at One was extended to 40 minutes in about 2015? Was there a purpose for this as I don’t think it lasted for very long?
RE: BBC News Reforms - Brekkie - 30-11-2023
I'd forgot about that - think it was because the regional news was cut to 5 minutes as resources were put into a 15 minute post-Ten bulletin instead, so they filled by expanding the One, which I think just took the sports news to fill the time. IIRC the nations retained a 15 minute lunchtime bulletin so opted out at 1.30pm.

Mark Urban referred to the cuts at Newsnight after the paper review (where it was mentioned on the i) pointing out the new format would be without many staff and describing it as a personally very sad day.

I ask because I'm a former World viewer and am wondering what the differences are.

France info does that for a small proportion of their programming. Don't know why the UK services haven't considered that.

But tbf other places seem to do a better job. FAST channels in the US and DR in Denmark actually launched an online news channel recently. With the BBC (and other English public broadcasters), "digital first" just means dumb down and poorer quality. The BBC's news website is one gigantic embarrassing dumbed down click bait site in order to (allegedly) appeal to young people. The management of the BBC News has been a mess for a while. It's hard to believe funding issues alone are behind the sharp decline in the quality of the BBC. From what I'm reading about the UK services, it seems those in charge have little interest in quality public broadcasting content, interested in clicks and not interested in helping people understand complex issues.

My biggest bug bear of all is this talk of a digital BBC. It’s now becoming increasingly clear to me that the current BBC big wigs want to move the BBC to become online only.

Yes viewing figures are going down for traditional methods however they still make up a large part of how the BBCs audience access their content. As so often seems the case, the BBC have become obsessed about accessing the bbc digitally even if it isolates huge numbers of its current audience. [...] attract a younger audience. What ends up happening is the changes annoy large numbers of the BBCs loyal audience who begin to swap their loyaities who are never replaced by enough of the audience the bbc is chasing.
