For an international news channel, there's a lot of domestic news - with core UK hours leading with UK stories about as often as they don't. Sure, it's less than the old News channel, but it's a lot more UK-heavy than World ever was.
Point taken but I stand by the other observations made in my post about the pointless branding of BBC News Now / The Daily Global / Verified Live, which ultimately mean very little in editorial terms and in on-screen visual identity, as well as my points about the "creative" decisions taken on other aspects of the merged channel's visual identity.
It's a minor miracle that UK ratings for the channel have recovered after that initial drop in the first month of the merger because I increasingly find it difficult, and occasionally, embarrassing to watch the BBC News Channel given the now fairly regular on-air mistakes and weaknesses in visual identity.
