We know that viewing figures have collapsed on the NC after 10pm anyway since 'The Papers' was axed.I don't even understand how the idea of showing BBC1 bulletins and Newsnight with BSL is not considered as a way to bring something different and to justify the simulcast. Even if is because of the cuts, it isn't impossible to put any BSL trasnlator in a small studio with just 1 camera controlled by NC UK (Or even by Red Bee if they end handling the output of the channel as it may look)
I see absolutely zero point in simulcasting what you can already watch on BBC 1 & 2 - give the few viewers who are left for the NC after 10pm a choice.
Just like, for example, TVE in spain. The news channel (24h) simulcasts the news bulletins of the main channel (La 1), but always with sign language, so they get away with a better way to justify why their news channel axed the 21h bulletin, and why the main channel axed the midnight bulletin for a simulcast of a debate show of the news channel some years ago.
