Anyone catch what Newswatch had to say about the situation?

Little new info - only bit really that the UK content during World ad breaks will be from around the nations and regions. Also, several planned opt-outs for next week to cover UK events. Aside from that, largely a reiteration of vague info from various press releases.

The viewer comments were as you'd expect - including the ill-informed assumption that solely UK licence payers are funding the service, despite the international contribution being significantly larger, and the rather odd complaint that overnights coming from outside London will diminish the ability to cover UK breaking news.

Similarly, as expected, network simulcasts are being trumpeted as 'seven-and-a-half hours of premium UK-facing content', though, as also expected, it was implied UK news will feature relatively strongly during combined hours.
