BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger

I wonder if that means they'll be on at the weekend too? It seems the days of presenters having fixed slots have long gone.

I thought the 4 might do 3 hours each over Monday to Friday with Mariam as cover. That’s your core 12 hours of the day covered.  But who knows.

Gosh - having the core names work on a Friday?! That's unthinkable, surely?

We have gone from double headed to almost no heads so anything can happen. It’s one way of stretching that elastic band as much as possible. It would be good to get some consistency throughout the week though.

So you're asking for a simulcast of Politics Live on BBC Two, BBC Parlament AND BBC News!?

Parliament doesn’t always show it because sometimes the Commons or Lords is sitting while Politics Live is on but the topic is not important enough to show live on BBC2.

Interestingly, Christian Fraser mentioned at the end of the joined half-hour of The Context that they are trying to make the back half-hour of the show, which does not air on the UK feed for these two weeks, to be nonetheless available to UK viewers via iPlayer.
As for now, this is not the case - this week's The Context records on iPlayer are 25 minutes long.
Also, no records of World News America are available there, not even for 24 hours since broadcast.

Or for these two weeks, the NC could drop the Ten and show the second half of The Context instead. Give viewers a choice of what they want to watch at 10pm, instead of showing something that's already being shown in the UK on BBC One.
A radical idea I know.
