Why obsess with balancing World and UK news priorities during this timeslot?
Why not have the merged channel produce "premium UK content" on the World and UK feeds at that time instead of simulcasting a call-in show on the UK feed? I can't see how two hours of a news agenda similar to a BBC One bulletin or the old UK news channel on the World feed would be problematic at that time. Putting the effort to produce purely World News bulletins when no one's watching is absurd!
