Less upheaval for international viewers, looks like a refresh for domestic viewers, rather than the current branded shows that are really just the same as each other.Honestly, I don't think they need branded programmes at all and am a little surprised, given the whole 'back to basics' thrust of the relaunch, that they didn't just stick with BBC News all day, everyday. I know such a set-up would disappoint certain people on here, but unless you're actually doing something different with each branded programme - in terms of regional/topic focus or format - then it's not really necessary. The three big afternoon World News strands were hardly particularly distinct towards the end anyway.
