Having multiple people turn up, to film, then edit, then broadcast from the same thing is pure madness, even if it takes a region specific viewpoint etc, it cannot be justified in the current environment.
I'm surprised News night is still going to be honest. The plug should be pulled and the remaining budget diverted into the main channel for a shorter UK similar type but stripped back show. You have news at ten, or the main channel, then News night, often covering the same things. Why? can the BBC News journalists not investigate the same way? In 2023 no, this does not need to be happening. There is no conspiracy, it is simply common sense.
Newsnight though is the one area doing something different to the news channel and BBC1 bulletins though. This move means they'll basically be doing the same as other areas of the BBC. That is not value for money. There is no way at all this can be framed as a decision that benefits the licence fee payer.
