John Motson's death another example of how this merged channel will fail audiences.  It's of little relevance to an international audience but not a big enough story to justify firing up the breaking news teams.    Traditionally it's a story that would be covered throughout the day with memories and tributes as they come in, in between other stories.    Under this new model it would likely be covered only within the sports bulletins (and that's if they're UK focused) and briefly at best within the main running order.

Plenty of coverage on the app and their social media feeds…

Though it's not the skew you want for deaths of elderly well-known figures.
