Is the logic of the Washington/Singapore split simply to cut out an entire shift in London by adding a couple of hours rolling coverage to the Newsday/WNA teams? I thought Washington was meant to be beefing up its hiring, which seems a little unnecessary if they might only be on air a few hours a day?
05:00-2300 also would make more sense, if only because splitting up 19 hours of London output across shifts seems less intuitive than 18. I wonder if the truth is that the UK will air Newsnight + filler at 23:00, with ‘WN’ taking Newsday, and there effectively won’t be any official live output on the combined channel during that hour?
