I don’t think the bbc internally really supported news 24 it was very much an experiment you can tell from day one it was reliant on bbc world programmes and some bulletins albeit it was arms length back then and with that in mind it did always feel like to myself that If any bbc news service should it disappear it would be the now news channel, so it’s not really surprising the presenters who have been kept on are bbc world news ones.

To be fair despite that, the staff who were part of the news channel did care and did everything they can despite the limited and reducing budget and kept it going for all these years.
