I wouldn't say there's any "perhaps" about it - come 1st April that's what will happen. Any UK-only content on the new channel will just be simulcasts of programmes that are already going out on other BBC channels. So there will be no original, UK-only content being produced specifically for the UK stream of BBC News.
The exception to this is when there's breaking news of interest just to UK audiences, apparently a journalist will set up in a cupboard studio somewhere in NBH to bring it to us.
