The 10-11am hour was 100% world news. Stories included the sentencing of a Putin critic in Moscow and part of a speech by Hillary Clinton in Belfast, but no UK domestic stories.
This is obviously why it's being done - for the benefit of World's audience. We, the licence fee payers, are now the poor relation.

Looks like that the merger is not enough for them, now they definitely want to close it........
This is definitely not what has happened here - the iPlayer first thing is increasingly common across television promos and, to be quite frank, if you are somebody really interested in watching programmes like Click, it'd make sense to watch them on iPlayer rather than the fairly odd times they are shown at weekends and overnights.
I'm also not sure where this idea of an executive conspiracy against the News channel has come from. News has long been something of an executive's darling and, until this time last year, the News channel was one of two national BBC channels/stations to have had a real-term increase in budget over the previous decade. It's hardly been treated badly over the years and, if they really wanted to close it now, I'm sure they'd have simply closed it rather than go through a highly convoluted merger-with-the-intent-of-failure scheme that was reliant on creating a public backlash that has not materialised.

Apparently it is because, for some unfathomable reason, Studio E's gallery doesn't have a copy of the new titles. Studios B and C, and BBC Washington do have them. Lucy's shift is the only one that comes from C, hence why it gets 'special treatment'.

But that logic doesn't add up as weekends and the early mornings come from C and use the old titles.

IIRC they rarely take live feeds from tournaments on WN's Sport Today before the merger due to rights issues, though it was pretty common during Sportsday and the sport bulletins on the NC since it's UK only.
Yes they can show live footage of an event which BBC Sport is a broadcast rights holder.
And also, as I mentioned last week, for the benefit of the international audience, they can now show footage of a non-BBC televised sporting event accrediting the UK broadcaster of the event and the rights holder (for example, last Saturday's Grand National footage was "courtesy of ITV Sport/HRA".

Also, Washington titles have a very loud, explosive sound, which I really like, while London Studio C sound is normal. Not sure if anyone else noticed this.

From what I've seen of the radio show on TV, it looks visually good. Same quality you get on franceinfo: on TV when they are simulcasting their radio shows. Whether it's the right radio show to simulcast though is another question.

I am guessing Washington don’t have the titles it’s played in from studio C?

If the point of the Nicky Campbell simulcast is to increase UK content on the news channel, why don’t they show the World bulletins on BBC2?
