There's absolutely no reason for simulcasts on the new channel of anything other than the 1/6/10, other than for the BBC to be able to claim it's providing UK relevant content on the new channel.
No one will be tuning into this channel to watch Laura K, Newsnight, Politics Live, Breakfast, or whatever other BBC 1/2 politics or current affairs programs get simulcast or repeated on there. To watch something live they'll go to BBC 1 or 2, to watch later they'll go to iPlayer. I agree - just give us World News 24/7 and let domestic news coverage on BBC 1/2 and radio.
The idea to stick cameras in Nicky Campbell's radio studio, and claim that is 2 hours of UK only content every day, is just mad.
