Remember, this is probably in no small part the purpose of the rehearsals they’re having - to get a sense of how to structure the hour in a way that will satisfy both domestic and World viewers.

Hey, maybe someone at the Beeb is even reading this thread!I do certainly hope so, because there is clearly a workable balance and I think, if they find it, the new channel could be reasonably decent. I did also bear in mind that things like Couzens' sentencing and Braverman's arena bombing statement would presumably be handled differently from next month when the opt-out service is available. Maybe it's just a first day thing, but that 17:00 hour did put a little bit of a damper on my optimism - particularly considering it's been a fairly slow news day in the UK.
