Previously, Focus on Africa was “slotted in” to the BBC World News schedule and produced and transmitted on BBC WN at the appointed time no matter what. Now, since the merger, it is produced in a different studio to other BBC News programmes, and can theoretically be delivered directly to partners via other ways (a separate feed, etc) so I don’t think it strictly has to go out in the way it used to. Certainly, the UK feed shows something else which other regional feeds could also show too.That happened even before the merger if I'm not mistaken. When FoA moved permanently to Studio C from Studio B a few years ago, FoA would move to a smaller World Service studio if BBC World News needed to use Studio C for a press conference and etc.
