The 5PM hour is still handled by the News at One team - it's presented by Clive Myrie.

I'm a WN viewer in Europe and I'm so glad to see Clive Myrie presenting on the channel.
I was kind of looking forward to seeing News at 1, 6 and 10 on WN with the new merge service.
It's over-night in Asia, so not too many viewers over there at that time anyway.

I believe a lot of people in Europe would enjoy watching the UK domestic newscasts on WN.
Much more so than 'Focus on Africa' and 'Worklife India' which are totally irrelevant to European viewers.
They should be on in their own respective regions only, perhaps repeated several times during the day.

Also, I would prefer BBC News at 10 to BBC News America on the European feed.

It's been explained on here many times that BBC World News has made money from advertisers over the last 10-15 years by being a truly international news channel. It won't make money by becoming a news channel for British expats abroad who want to watch domestic UK news.

If BBC WN fails to generate revenue, then the entire linear TV news channel operation is threatened. Whilst it's inevitable that there will be more UK news on the merged channel, if there's too much focus on issues that are trivial to international audiences, like UK weather, the pyscho-drama of UK party politics, and UK court cases, then the entire news operation will suffer.

I think I watched 1 report on the News at Six last night, I really couldn't have cared for the rest of it. International news was much more interesting to me yesterday.
