Quite frankly, if the viewer does not know what the 'PM' is in a UK political report, there's really no point them watching. For example you would never describe King Charles III (of the United Kingdom)...
BiB - We as UK citizens wouldn't, you're right. But what if there is another King Charles somewhere else in the world - you would expect an international news channel to define and differentiate who they're referring to unless the context is strong already.
