Weekend News programmes are now only onBBC1. That I had not noticed as I thought these would also return after Christmas
Very sad.
It's not sad, there was never any good reason for BBC 1 weekend bulletins to go out on the NC, other than the fact it was a necessity due to the NC and BBC 1 news both sharing the same studio.
From a scheduling POV, BBC 1 weekend bulletins going out on the NC just disrupted the regular hourly schedule of the NC, especially if the BBC 1 bulletin is on at an awkward time for the NC, such as 1755 - 1810 for instance.
