Id argue the opposite. UK audience are not being served pretty well. You cannot go into as much depth in a 25 minute network bulletin as you can on the news channel. Interviews are effectively sound bites as there isn’t time. Network bulletins are summaries of what’s going on. The app since its redesign is no where near as good as it was. Apps again are simply sound bites. When done properly you can’t beat the news channel. Yes there is sky news but if we went down that path you could argue that they do a news at 10 plus itv do an evening new so drop the bbc news altogether.

This has always been a battle for news channels long before the merger but for me it's the lack of being able to get a summary of several stories with a more UK focus in any hour of the news channel, instead only getting one story covered endlessly in the opts (when they arguably often only need 10 minutes at the top of the hour and updates at the bottom of the hour) now at the expense of not just UK news but world news too. The breakfiller updates are an embarrassment, as are the pushbacks.
