The problem is sometimes they're in the bizarre situation whereby they're broadcasting Nicky Campbell on the UK feed, which is already an opt out of the Global feed in itself, only to opt out of the already opted-out feed (Nicky Campbell) to go to someone in the clip studio to cover Breaking News or a presser.

Are they trying to break a record for the most opt outs of a channel going on at once? It must be a bit of a headache for those in the various galleries trying to coordinate things.

Does anyone know which gallery handles the Nicky Campbell show?

It's almost as if having a 'core' 9am - 6pm weekday UK News Channel was a good idea!

I imagine for most of next year in the run up to the General Election, the UK feed will be presented from the balcony opt-out position by producers or freelance presenters. So why not just have a core UK daytime output from E and a World simulcast the rest of the time? (Eg. The situation we had in January & February this year) But the BBC being the BBC they had to go full W1A on us and come up with what we have now.
