Never mind moving away from being London centric, the News Channel is moving away from being UK centric. I tuned in at 10am this morning and 7pm this evening, both times the hour opening with "the latest headlines in the UK and around the world".
Weekday daytime now seems the only time there is no regular simulcasting (aside from the 10am hour).
