They could arguably create an ad-free version of the World feed, but there just isn't enough demand relative to the effort. I doubt many UK viewers are even aware of there being a World feed to begin with, and even then, the two feeds shows exactly the same thing for the overwhelming majority of UK viewing hours.

Will it really take up a lot of effort though? To me, the so called "ad-free" version of the World feed will basically be a separate regional variation from Red Bee Pres... It'll have its own playlist of weather bulletins, promos during breaks just like other regions. 

The MCR from Red Bee is pretty sophisticated with automation already. It can do stuff such as playing the breakfiller for specific regions while other regions air a promo board before a sponsored pre-record program; or air different pre-records for different regions (e.g "Politics Europe" for the Europe feed, WNA repeats for North America during UK overnights...) The same mechanism can be adopted for the UK feed.

It's been 7 months after the merger and I'm still wondering why the UK feed is still originating from the active galleries in NBH, rather than handing control over to Red Bee Pres just like other regions... This can provide more downtimes for the galleries so they don't have to be on air and transmitting 24/7...
