So we can't read anything into that regarding how the international channel will be branded from 6 March.

A few points to note:
- The daytime bulletins from 0900-1830 are labeled "BBC News". The overnight/early morning bulletins from 0300-0830 are labeled "BBC World News". Does that imply "BBC World News" is going to be rebranded as "BBC News" or they're still going to use separate brand names in the transition period? Who knows...
