The point is though the current channel isn't scheduled around what the viewer may want through the day.  It shouldn't be the case but sadly is.   

Would be interesting to know what an hour of Rafio 4 or 5Live news costs in comparison to an hour of news channel content.

Isn't radio cheaper than TV? From behind the scenes videos, there seems to be fewer behind the scenes staff for radio than on TV.

Based on what I've seen (and correct me if I'm wrong), France Info regularly has televised radio programming and they have strong collaboration between TV and radio. This could be a model for the BBC's UK audience if it's within budget. Televised radio isn't popular but there's no money for a separate UK news channel and there seems to be not enough funding to do what was done in 2015 or even 2022, and it's clear the current frankenstein also does not work either. Otherwise it's just World News and absolutely no UK feed.
