"We are offering a better service by providing more choice and flexiblility to the UK audience"
"We are still covering important UK breaking news"
Paul Royall's interview with Newswatch a few weeks ago has a good summary:

The UK opt ended at 1530, crossing over to the BOTH headlines and then a pre-record...
Here's a nice shot of Gallery A - the new dedicated gallery for UK opt outs~ Sadly they didn't put up any camera shots of the currently closed Studio A on the multiviewers so we couldn't see it's current state.
