That would be one solution, but World News don't go to non-news back half-hours every hour and I doubt there'd be much appetite for devolving the channel back to its early-2000s skint state. Plus some of the back half-hours (Business) are studio-bound and it wouldn't be possible to do business and UK news from the same studio at the same time. Though, I guess during WBR half-hours you could have UK take sport and world take business at xx:30 and then at xx:40 have UK take UK news and World take sport. Would be a fine turnaround, but doable.
As most of the full hours on World occur in the afternoon, it could be that a few separate hours using the One presenter and gallery team + separate back-halfs could be a solution. Then again, as I've tried to discuss numerous times, there are many solutions to allow greater UK news with little additional cost. It's mad that they wouldn't take any, though it does increasingly look that way after all...
