But it certainly seems, from my perspective, as if the BBC is a bit embarrassed about the quality of the NC these days, especially from a UK viewer perspective, and would rather hide it away as a result.
They could also be expecting to axe it in a future round of cuts, so are phasing out mentions of it now.
They’ve stopped saying “there is more on todays stories on the BBC News Channel” because invariably there won’t be more on todays stories, it’s often a completely different global agenda.
Particularly so where after the Ten, if you were to turn to the BBC News Channel it’d be Newsnight and then pretty much into the overnight service
