I'm sure I remember reading that there was indeed a plan to rebrand 60 Seconds as Newsbeat. However that got overtaken by the plan to close BBC Three.
As for the new bulletin, I wonder if 7pm is the best time for it? Will a short bulletin broadcast when the channel has only just gone on air catch all that many viewers? Few, if any, people are going to switch on BBC Three specifically to watch this bulletin, so I'd have thought a slot in between other programmes, perhaps at 8pm, would pick up more viewers.
