The conscious decision has been made that world viewers will see more UK News than before, and the opposite for UK viewers. Agree or disagree, that’s your choice, but the channel has a different focus now.
My worry is that if former World viewers start turning away from the channel because of the different editorial decisions then there will be even less funding.
It's trying to please both audiences, and in doing so risks alienating both.
I'd rather it focus on World news, with more frequent opts for major UK stories, instead of wall to wall coverage on stories like Schofield.
