Isn't The Context supposed to be a US leaning program? It does feel like editorially the global channel is often being sacrificed in favour of UK viewers interests, which is not necessarily a good thing for the global channel's revenues and sponsorship deals.
I’ve aways been under the impression that the context, as the successor to beyond 100 days, had a duel focus on the US and UK. The whole premise of the original 100 days programme was the duel impact of Brexit and a trump presidency globally (well realistically in the UK and USA) and therefore the slot has long had a greater focus on UK news than other elements of the old world schedule would have done.
