What a farce.

I have come to the conclusion that firmer BBC world should be on UK feed all the time now on the grounds that:

1 BBC1 bulletins are of course the domestic bulletins. They have always been on bbc1. No need for simulcasting.

2 Breakfast also is a simulcast but has BSL. But why not put BSL on iPlayer as a separate stream? Itv have ITV Signed on ITVX. It is possible the main reason for simulcasting on UK feed us because of BSL requirements and I have no issue with that - but in future surely it fits better in iPlayer like ITV Signed on ITVX. Same argument for any news bulletin needing BSL.

3 Newsnight not needed in UK feed either as it us in BBC2 and always has been since it started (1980 I think?)

4 Nicky Campbell show NOT needed on former news channel either. It us a RADIO phone-in. Radio 5 Live DID have a webcam feed on iPlayer - or mire precisely in 5 live website. That is the place for a radio simulcast - NOT on a regular television channel. BBC should bring back the 5 live webcam because otherwise, we will lose 30 minutes of UK focussed news at 1030 UK time when World has Hard Talk
The other 90 minutes are a simulcast if world - we would nit see this if 5 live were simulcast instead.

5 the 1800 switch tonight - at the end of the bulletin, one if the screens had Sportsday on it. That I assume was not broadcast tonight is that correct?

6 BBC Parliament us a simulcast of whatever goes out in BBC news UK due to recess. If UK feed must be separate from world, why not put world out on BBC parliament outside term time in future instead of triplicating BBC1 bulletins et? The Fred used in UK has no ads so can be used to fill gap on parliament. If not, why not?

It seemed crazy to opt out of world to take a domestic bulletin broadcast on bbc1 whose lead story was exactly what world had.

Ridiculous.
