I think it's been said before that the branded programmes might exist for the benefit of advertisers. Regardless, their existence isn't detrimental to the schedule and it would be rather pointless to ditch them. I agree though, that they don't offer anything different than a generic bulletin and they could desperately do with being 'beefed up' both in terms of presentation and editorially.
I do think the channel was at its worst last April when nearly every hour was plain BBC News. It's come along quite a bit since moving back into Studio E at the start of this month.
Something as simple as unique theme music and different camera angles as well as a focus on specific regions would go a long way in improving them I think.
