I think I suggested it before, but with the proposals around an hour-long One, it would make sense to just have three newshours, each marketed with a different focus - e.g., live and developing stories at One; the day's national, regional and international news at Six; a deeper look at the top stories (with a lean to international and political news) at Ten. There might be a few issues, but better than a part-time Newsnight, an exclusively talk-based Newsnight or even no Newsnight. Could even bring Victoria Derbyshire across and have her alternate with Clive Myrie.
