Of course, previously news programming used to finish at xx:51/52 to allow them, but now it doesn't so you're left with a botched opt. Again, one of many issues that should have been sorted out in planning, let alone the piloting stage - ideally you'd either ditch them or have World opt out at the xx:45 break and take a sport bulletin, then the feature, or have both take sport, with World then opting out. The only 'rational' reasons I can think they haven't done this is a) the sponsorship contracts are huge or b) the contracts haven't expired and they'll be dropped when they are.
