I can imagine that the UK government and intelligence agencies would have been quite keen for the BBC to broadcast this sentencing around the world.(17-02-2023, 11:44 AM)damian Wrote: If the new BBC News is going to be like the past 45 minutes to World News viewers then I personally am not interested in the merger.

I agree that broadcasting a sentencing from the Old Bailey for over 30 minutes is hardly news worthy to World viewers, or even UK viewers.
The difference between the 10-11am weekday hour now and the new channel, is that the 10-11am hour currently is produced by the UK news channel team for World.
The new channel will be produced by a World team 24/7. So you won't get niche hearings from the Old Bailey broadcast in full.
