If they could at least use the opts to carry other stories in addition to the main breaking one, it wouldn't be as bad. But when they opt out, it's just the one story for as long as it goes, even if there's little in new developments to cover. It's a joke.

And the alternative is to put heavily UK centric breaking stories on the world feed, like they did with Schofield, which isn't much better. This merged channel is a mess.

I think the issue there is that the UK opt-out also doubles up as a stream on the BBC News website/app for visitors who want constant coverage of a single story, so going into other stories from that perspective is a no, no. The UK opt seems to be an additional 'bonus' rather than prioritising linear viewers who may want to see other UK stories.
