As you say, this is the kind of UK-focussed programming that you can get away with on an international news channelHaving UK-centric programming on weekends wouldn't be out of place. WN used to have "UK Reporters" right after a number of those 10-minute bulletins on weekends, which was just a compilation of the week's news from the UK and a lot of it was arguably not of major international interest. IIRC they discontinued "UK Reporters" just before the pandemic and "Reporters" sometime after the start. A lot documentaries and editions of Panorama that are UK-centric are also aired on weekends.
