The news channel isn't there to be watched hour after hour day after day by the licenc fee payer - it's there to be there when the viewer wants it. That especially means being strong at times of major breaking news and developing stories, whether an international disaster or a UK political story (usually a disaster of some sort!).
It probably still just about managed to do that - it's what it's purpose is the rest of the time which seems confused, and therefore perhaps alienating to an audience which will dip in daily outside those big stories who now perhaps get fewer stories covered in more depth, though not necessarily meaning more detail. For me now if I want a decent round up of the news from the BBC television wise we're back to the BBC1 bulletins really being the only option.
