Bleak. While the audience has seemingly held up domestically, I wonder how things are going for world. One of the old channel’s greatest assets was consistency and reliability. Regardless where you were, you could switch it on and get a quality world bulletin on the hour. Neither dominated by UK domestic news or lazy CNN Trump type content.
World used to be a constant at home and in hotels abroad, it’s not on anymore. Further why would the premium advertisers stick around and pay the ad fees BBC charges if it’s no longer a premium product?
You can run a news channel on the smell of an oily rag and it still look great and put out consistently high quality content. I’ve talked about the ABC news channel in the past. It’s mind boggling that NBH can’t get their head around this.

The BBC do have measures of their global audience, but they seldom release them anywhere other than the Annual Report - so it's likely nearly a year until we'll be able to see whether the international audience is holding up. And UK viewers better hope that it is, because any substantive decline in advertising revenue and syndication and distribution fees will just mean further budget cuts for the channel.
And, before somebody inevitably suggests it, no, the channel collapsing internationally would likely not allow for a return to a domestic channel, not without significant extra licence money being invested (which would, of course, likely be required to be a level higher than it was previously to cover for the huge amount of World-produced content on the old News channel).

The Presentation unit of the global channel has actually improved and looks considerably better then what they did for the World News channel in recent years, they even got rid of the flipper during documentary’s and stuff coming from Salford to the pres unit as well as stuff from Singapore, there are some plus points, it’s just let down by the output coming out from NBH.

The news channel is fancying a pushback on the UK feed this morning. On the UK feed, there is a pushback showing live footage of the Women's World Cup from BBC One, on the World feed they went full screen.
The lower thirds are in sync and placed on the outer layer rather than inside the pushback so I assume it's from Gallery C (rather than Gallery A taking C output on the output)...

What's the point in that - anyone who wants to watch it will be watching it.

It looks like an on-air trial of the “Watching Box” concept, but as you say totally pointless. It will be achieved by the Viz engines in Gallery C outputting two separate feeds from the same gallery, just as E routinely used to do for BBC One bulletins simulcast on the NC with separate lower thirds.
Everyone who has access to the UK feed NC also has access to BBC One to watch the football live, if they do desire. This is just yet another way of butchering the global feed of news for UK viewers who want news. The BBC don’t seem to understand that such an audience exists. Or they do, and they simply don’t care about those viewers at all.

Yes the 1 and 6 will be in E today due to hoist maintenance.
