Definitely feels like I’m watching World News now, largely dictated by the news agenda but there’s obviously a conflict with the teacher strikes arguably being more newsworthy to a majority of UK viewers, but a way down the running order.
New background looks much better and overall it feels a bit closer to the updated studio B style.
The news agenda, Lucy Hockings presenting, and the format of live contributors - it feels a higher-brow product than NC viewers have had, but I suspect they’ll see a drop-off of viewers who are less interested in international news. They’ve had a heavy US/international focus in evenings for a while now, so they no doubt know what rates and what doesn’t and this feels an extension of that.
