It's obviously a big UK story, but before the merger, would World News have rolled all day with this story?No, it might get a mention, but it definitely wouldn't be high up the running order during non-simulcast hours. UK news on World was generally limited to key politics, royals, culture, business and sport. UK crime might get covered if really major - the Essex migrant lorry deaths definitely got lead story coverage - but I can't see a sentencing like this get much more than a package tops. It certainly wouldn't get rolling coverage, not least as World were generally quite reticent to do rolling news coverage (though this did loosen as time went on).
