Aside from the 'part of the fabric' issues of being there from day one, it's not really in the same category as the other now-gone 'branded' programming - being more of a specialist news programme than a 'branded' news programme. Sport Today is the only particularly comparable dropped programme, but that still exists in a sort of 'shadow' unbranded form.
