Unlikely. It's surprising that you've not noticed that style, structure, language, editorial values and many basics of storytelling are different in the US to the UK (we're much closer to the way Australian news reports are crafted than US; indeed we're much closer to Spanish than most US content)

Broadcast news less self important, badly structured than print/written in the States, but its still quiet alien to a British audience. Some event/war/disaster based stuff works internationally but much just doesn't work.

I think use of pictures , that get reversioned and lives with special correspondents is the most that can routinely be used

I wouldn't paint with such a broad brush. Networks like NBC can really tailor their content to the platform. There can be a big difference in style in a package from the same reporter or the same topic between the Today show, Nightly News, and the NBC News Channel distribution platform. Something from the Today show probably wouldn't work on Sky, but something from the latter two probably would work. When NBC owned a stake in Euronews, reports from Nightly News appeared fairly regularly on Euronews, and aside from a few small details, they were fine.
