It's as if merging the two services doesn't work.

Let's merge radios 1 and 3 to save money, I'm sure we can satisfy the fans of rap and obscure classical music all in one station.

Not as extreme as that admittedly, but similar vibes.

Sure, but the plausible options that are on the table are somewhere between the BBC having no news channels and having one news channel with separation possibilities. The spectrum of options no longer stretches far enough for two different channels. The way things have worked this week is definitely not the way forward, but there are undoubtedly ways of something working.
