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).
Yea the NC and WN simulcasts about 10 hours of output on weekdays and about 14 hours on weekends ever since Covid... In case anyone's wondering, here's the schedule of simulcasts:
Mon to Thur:
1000-1100 [Studio E]
1900-2000 (Outside Source) [Studio C]
2100-2200 (The Context) [Studio C]
2300-0600 (2300-0200 is Newsday) [Studio C]
Fri:
1000-1100 [Studio E]
1930-2200 (1930-2000 is Dateline London) [E 1930-2100, C 2100-2200]
2300-0600 [Studio C]
Sat and Sun:
0900-1300 (Sat: 1000-1300) [Sat: E 1000-1300, Sun: C 0900-1100, E 1100-1300]
1900-2200 [Sat: E 1900-2200, Sun: E 1900-2100, C 2100-2200]
2300-0600 [Sat: E 2300-0000, C 0000-6000, Sun: C 2300-0600]
(I'm not sure if the 0900-1300 simuclast will end 1 hour earlier if there's a national bulletin scheduled at Noon)
