“I've been told that £4m will be reinvested in new "future-facing" plans, financed from the £12.5m being saved by merging the channels. Those include a live and breaking news team it's believed will significantly increase the BBC's capacity to offer breaking stories across all its platforms, including, crucially, BBC iPlayer.”
So, perhaps it will be on iPlayer only?

Yeah, there were early stage discussions about putting the entire channel as basically a UK opt-style iPlayer stream (think BBC Three days) but my understanding was that this was dropped due to the perception that the news channel audience would find, generally speaking, it harder to access if only an iPlayer stream.
That said, I can see a situation whereby lots more of the stand alone reports are made available on iPlayer with a focus on UK stories. There something very similar happening with Sounds and individual stories being made available (I've heard it referred to as From Our Own Correspondent on Acid without Kate Aide).
They should take a look at what ITVX are doing.
