Must admit I was quite surprised to see Martine speaking so publicly about this, things must have reached a head internally.

Essentially the BBC is removing its domestic rolling news service and returning to flagship bulletins, and personally I'm fine with that. News 24 launched in a very different landscape and people now get their 24/7 news in other ways. Breakfast, the 1, 6, 10 and Newsnight is plenty of news and more focus will be put on these programmes. They will be able to throw to a separate domestic broadcast should there be significant breaking news and outside of that you will have the option of following the news on the app, website, or with a more global perspective on the News channel. In the UK at least you will actually have more options than you do now!

Things don't need to continue because they always have been that way, well since 1997 at least, and it will be interesting to see how it all works.
