I don't agree with the running order last night but it's worth pointing out that BBC News wasn't alone in putting the Philip Schofield story first - Sky News also had it first from what I saw, ahead of the India train crash.

The significant difference between BBC News and Sky News is that, afaik, Sky News is entirely a domestic news channel which just happens to be broadcast internationally: therefore, its focus is always going to be on domestic stories. Indeed, when I've been watching the channel, domestic stories are more likely to be mentioned without any issue [alongside other important international stories that may impact the UK], since the audience of Sky News is specifically UK viewers.

As a result, if you watch Sky News abroad, you already have an expectation of a domestic news channel with most stories being UK focused. That wasn't the case with the BBC, where domestic and international viewers were separated and the stories on the domestic channel were very unlikely to end up on the international feed (unless they were a big story like Brexit or a change of prime minister).

With the merged channel, international viewers are now subjected to meaningless domestic news that they probably don't care about, and never have had to care about.
