UK audiences are pretty well served without it - working through the day there’s Breakfast, Politics Live, News at One, regional lunchtime news, News at Six, evening regional news, The One Show, News at Ten, late regional news, Newsnight. Does all this along with the app, web and social media not cover things adequately? I’d guess consumption of these far outweighs viewership of the news channel. And there’s always Sky News too…
I’d re-rebrand the news channel as BBC World News and scrap any pretence of a domestic focussed service.
I disagree. One of the good things made by last year`s changes is the rename to BBC News. The main brand is BBC News, the website was always BBC News. As someone said before, the "world" suffix was just a compromise to remember the roots of the channel.
