Regardless of simulcasting or not, it is undeniably poor how inflexible both BBC News channels are at weekends. With the developing story in Brazil, did we really need to take at 20:30 the seventh repeat this weekend of an episode of The Travel Show? I know that Latin America is one of the BBC's weak spots, but this is the kind of story where people actually go to flick on the News channel to see what is happening. It's just borderline inexcusable how the two channels basically run on autopilot at weekends with no consideration for the kinds of editorial judgement that would be made during the week.
