Other than WNA, Washington output should use the NBH background loop. When I see the Washington background on general bulletins I just switch off - I want world news not more American news.

The bloke in Washington with the tightly clipped beard is also way OTT. They really need to be careful re the Washington hours not being a total American takeover.

This is all why it would have been better for the audience to give some evening hours to Singapore if London can’t be a 24 hour operation.

Why? We know it comes from Washington. They might as well own that, and show it, rather than trying to hide it. You mean David Willis, right? Personally I think he is all right. His style is a bit of an acquired taste, perhaps, but he is a good presenter and at least he has some personality. I disagree about Singapore. The set up there is not quite as polished as the one in Washington, which is excellent, so they might as well make the most of it - as indeed they are.
