Who will present the UK breaking news opt-outs? Has there been any info on this?
Would it be one of 8 presenter/reporter roles?
To me it feels like the UK BBC News “channel” won’t be anything resembling a joined up channel, and already isn’t. A weird mix of BBC One simulcast, radio phone-ins, BBC Sky Sports News (they had a 75 min programme for transfer deadline day at 10pm on Tuesday) and showing World News.
The Guardian also reported Deborah Furness has said there needs to be more UK news on the new channel, but to me that’ll just mean a weird mix that pleases absolutely no one.
Presumably the April launch is solely because it’s the beginning of the financial year - not because the new channel will be in any way ready?
