I don't think there's any chance of the use of Washington and Singapore being used in evenings and overnight will be reversed. This is already a simulcast, so little overall change for viewers.
Similarly I can't see them reverting back to the UK and World channels having different names. I think best hope is for a partial reversal, in restoring UK coverage/opt 9am to 6pm weekdays.
