The channel is expected to launch in the first week of April and will split into two feeds when it needs to cover big breaking domestic stories that are not of enough importance or interest to world audiences.

The Guardian has learned that Turness has asked for more home news on the station. Some UK politicians are likely to be unhappy that fewer of their constituents’ concerns will be covered by a station funded by licence fee payers but aimed also at audiences abroad, where it will be allowed to sell adverts.
