I check in from time to time. The big strap being red all the time is very unpleasant. There's a reason why teachers prefer students write in black and blue ink and not red!
I don't think anyone can complain that this new channel is World heavy, quite the opposite.
The pace is terrible as DTV has mentioned many times and I like the quotation around "analysis" in DTV's reply in the last page. Doing a number of "news in briefs" would make it more tolerable. They could be an opportunity to promote their app and website (though I'm not a fan of the tabloidy style). You would think having to handle more news due to the need to accommodate two different audiences would result in a faster pace approach but instead they just cover a few stories relying mostly on interviewing guests for 10 minutes each. You don't feel less informed with those interviews compared to a 2 minute package. The awfulness is simply down to poor management, leadership and decision-making.
