I’ve not had chance to watch any of this because we’ve had a static shot of a plane for the last 45 minutes before News at 6 started - which visually looks great though I can’t bring myself to unmute the tv.

But from what I’ve read here the consensus seems to be ‘shambles’.

What they should have done and can still do… Chris Cook I know you’re here somewhere… kept ‘BBC World News’ mostly as it was. International Bulletin every front half hour with UK news only during the breaks (as they used to do with the Overnights) UK news bulletin every back half hour. Separate studio/presenter for World Business and to cover UK breaking news Opts if needed in front half hour.

World viewers would only have lost the few back half hour bulletins they get during the day and wouldn’t be subjected to trivial irrelevant uk domestic stories. UK viewers would easily be able to determine the difference between UK branded and World branded bulletins. They’re trying to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

PS. I despise this ‘chameleon’ branding with every fiber of my being and the news version is by far the worst execution of it.

…but who cares what I think, today is the first time I’ve watched any BBC News output in about 6 years. Only here for the graphics - i cant listen to it for mental health reasons - too much gloom and doom.
