That makes sense - I was aware that 23:00 U.K. time on Sunday was where the weekend arrangements ended, as that is “morning” in Singapore for Newsday. On Friday nights, of course, the reverse occurs - where it’s already Saturday morning in Singapore, and thus no Newsday, but Friday afternoon in Washington and WN America has to air, as you say.

At least this is one thing that is better than it used to be on World News. After the 2010 schedule changes, the weekend basically began at about noon on Friday, with about half of the afternoon and evening schedules completely different. It got sort of a bit better in recent years (in terms of dropping non-newsy bits), but you still had a few stranded programmes that disappeared on Fridays for no real reason.
