While I do appreciate Martine's fight and motives, as a union leader but also one of the star presenters of News channel who wants to keep her job, I'm also not sure this sort of attitude is fair to BBC World News, a channel many would agree is a much better product than the News Channel ever was.

Getting BBC World News is not the worst thing that can happen to UK viewers. A bit more international news with a proper amount of local stories can be done, Sky News has done it, more or less, since its debut.

Couldn’t disagree more. While the News Channel of late has become a shadow of its former News 24 self, it was once head and shoulders about BBC World.

One small example is the contrast in coverage of 9/11 where World was just woeful.

As for Sky News - that is clearly a UK channel with a few world news stories, so I don’t get what you mean there.

If they have to close one channel I think it should be BBC World News. Us making news for the rest of the world but not for ourselves is just insane.
