Obviously the content from national broadcasters especially will cover stories from the origin country, viewers not only expect this but will, in many cases, actively seek it out.
For the BBC to ignore British news is quite bizarre.
That may seem to make sense, but it's not that long ago (well, before the slow merger of BBC World News & the News Channel) that you would see very little UK news on BBC World News.
In fact you would regularly see more UK news on CNN International than BBC World News. And vice versa when it comes to US News. Always seemed quite odd.
