The BBC never had a news channel in UK before 1997. World started when they split world service television into BBC world and BBC prime.
Only when Princess Diana died - 8 and a half years after Sjy News started - did the BBC even consider doing a bewjs channel.
The BBC were never told to start a news channel as far as I know. World Service radio existed since 1932 but it took them 60 years to start a news TV channel
Given we used nit to have a BBC news channel could they get away with just closing it altogether?
