Many, including myself, wondered why on earth this compromise fudge of a channel was put together in the first place, when it made much more sense to put 24/7 BBC World News out in the UK, even if just on iPlayer with the World breakfillers ('On this day in history'), so there was no ambiguity about what kind of news service UK viewers were getting.
If the BBC doesn't want to or doesn't have the means to provide a UK TV news channel anymore they just need to be upfront about it. The news channel is not plugged on the BBC 1 domestic bulletins anymore, for more 'news & analysis' BBC 1 viewers are directed to the website or iPlayer.
Why not just admit that the BBC website and iPlayer are there for more news & analysis as well as domestic BBC 1 bulletins, and UK viewers can also now watch our international news channel, BBC World News, 24/7, without adverts, on iPlayer?
That would make much more logical sense, the Uk part of the service looks terrible, it’s so bad they can’t even play titles and they just have any old presenters in front of a tv screen, the Uk service needs to go.
