I assume that this partly down to some hours being produced by former NC teams and some by ex-World teams, but it is very odd to have a situation where some are nearly as UK news heavy as an old News channel hour and some that are nearly all international news. While I'm sure that a more stable and reasonable balance will be found once the new channel launches, it's just odd to lurch from one extreme to the other every few hours. I'd've assumed that a compromise smudge would have been agreed across all shifts for the interim period.That’s assuming anything like that has been communicated - which it probably hasn’t! You would think an outfit as big as the BBC would have hashed some editorial guidelines together for the interim - but then equally, you’d be surprised at how slack some of these big corporations are!
