My expectation is that London will probably be 05:00 to about 21:00 - with an 'overnight' schedule of Washington-Singapore-Washington. It'd be odd to lose the current Singapore shift, as Newsday has had a lot of success in that slot and neither Washington or Singapore would really fit the 05:00-08:00 slot as it is past midnight in Washington and middle of the day in Singapore (so neither Breakfast or Evening Peak).

Yes I did think that 5-8am slot might still get someone like sally bundock as a presenter reporter shift. 

Also, the BBC One presenter might be the person that becomes the UK breaking news presenter.

Will Sally Bundock really want to be 'downgraded' to a presenter/reporter role, and continue to present the 5am shift for a pay cut, after being with World News for over 20 years?
If we assume that evenings after 7pm will be Outside Source with Ros Atkins or a presenter/reporter, and then Washington takes over from 9pm or 10pm, that leaves 5am to 7pm split into 5 shifts for the chief presenter roles. Or we could see the 'dead' World shift of 8 to 11am covered by a presenter/reporter or freelance presenter, with evenings still including a chief presenter shift.

Either way, even though she's not been publicly mentioned in the departures, I can't see Sally Bundock staying on for a pay cut and a downgraded role.

And surely Jane Hill and Ben Brown are nailed on for the BBC 1 network 1pm and Weekend teams? That would leave Sophie on the Six, Huw on the Ten, and Clive, Reeta, Jane and Ben sharing cover, the One, and Weekends between them, with Mishal doing occasional Sundays.

And all this business of the UK feed of the new channel still taking Breakfast and Nicky Campbell, what's the point? I don't see how the BBC can get away with claiming they are giving UK channel viewers domestic only content that's just being simulcast from BBC 1/2 or 5 Live. If viewers want to see Breakfast or Nicky Campbell they won't be tuning into the News Channel to see it.
Just give UK viewers actual choice and just broadcast the full channel 24/7 in the UK and be done with it.
