I have never understood the UK morning set up on the new News Channel. Before the merger morning used to have very few viewers after European breakfast which is why there would often only been news summaries at the top of some of the hours and the shared 10am hour produced by the news channel team. This implies that it was not cost effective to produce a world bulletin during this time.
Since merger however we have had the phone in which was a bad idea and then world bulletins with UK opts for breaking news.
Would it not make more sense for the morning to have a slightly larger UK focus for announcements and speeches, between 9 and 12 and then switch to the global focus at midday. After all the US are sleeping at this time and it's is late afternoon in the Far East so people will still be working.
