But I still don't really understand why they are wasting their ability to fit in extra UK news on 'and finally' stories - even if recycling reports from regional bulletins, surely better to focus on some more newsy stories.
It'd be unlikely to happen for various reasons, but I did think the other day that an even better way of doing it would be to have each of the regions do a short summary of the news in their region and cycle through them throughout the day.
