Since finding the global ad-free stream of BBC News this morning, I can say how raw a deal we got in the UK.

Graphics all pull together and feels like an actual channel to the same quality of the old BBC News Channel.

Obviously no BBC iPlayer references of uses of the Chameleon icons for BBC Sport or Weather, the whole look just works.

Content wise, so much better, top of the hour news and bottom current affairs and docos. I would be much happier if we could have this instead.

In a way it is sad we lost the BBC News Channel but now it's a halfway house.

I would also be happier if they stripped out the BBC One and BBC Two broadcasts so we continued with what really is a renamed BBC World News.

Do your national bulletins, Breakfast and Nicky plus Newsnight on domestic services and just give us global channel?
