I agree I think there should be the choice, ideally. That maybe it’s good BBC2 daytime programming to fill the hours
The costs reason (aside from the many political ones) is the Sport I think (and this is a guess, so please forgive me). I suspect they’re doing some pre-record of bits of the sport to meet the UK/Elsewhere sport rights situation.
If they have to do that, suddenly they’re not just passing the world feed and operationally maybe that needs extra people to run those play-ins?
I think it’s a shame though, as the UK got a better service when it got more global news.
