But as has been explained many times on these and other forums, BBC World News is not, and never has been, a UK news channel broadcasting abroad. It is an international news channel. Since simulcasts have increased and due to the merger, more UK news has crept into BBC WN bulletins, but the World stream of the new channel will not just be a re-broadcast of the UK stream for all the reasons that have already been explained.
Around midnight we are currently getting something called NewsDAY on BBC WN.
That name doesn't feel like it's targeting a global audience. NewsDAY in late-night?
Neither does World News AMERICA feel like a show targeting audiences around the world. It screams Made-for-America.
Question is, would anyone in let's say Singapore care to watch WN America or News at Ten?
I would say probably yes, but I think they would prefer seeing something British, after all they are watching the BBC.
Next you'll be calling for Nicky Campbell's phone-in, Politics Live and Question Time to also be shown on World News. It's not going to happen. (And hopefully it won't happen for UK news channel viewers either......)
