US networks have never provided a networked national news programme at lunchtime, just a waste of money - maybe BBC One could axe the News at One and save cash there?
BBC News at One on BBC One gets 2m viewers and a 40% share daily - it wins its slot by a very, very long distance against all channels at that time. And with 2m viewers on average for each edition, it is by far the most watched programme on any channel between 6am - 4pm on weekdays - and that isn't an exaggeration.
