BBC World News is more focused on global themes. If we forced more British themes onto World News, it ceases to be relevant to the people watching BBC World News, who mostly don't live in the UK and therefore aren't as affected by, for example, the bird flu outbreak in Yorkshire. Equally, if we cut stories like that out of the BBC News channel and focused more on global stories like BBC World, it'd not be a programme that is relevant to British viewers and therefore wouldn't serve the public. As a result, it is actually the most reasonable thing to maintain the independence of the two channels with a few exceptions for programmes it makes sense to be shared.BBCMeridian post_id=65838 time= user_id=2083 Wrote:I think they could merge the NC into World News and still provide a good service. Even if they kept the News at 5 and hours of UK news a couple of times during the day, I think it would be a sensible move rather than sacrificing resources from other areas. Most people read the news online now so I think the days of having the NC and World News running seperately are numbered anyway.harshy post_id=65834 time= user_id=970 Wrote:Close bbc news channel it’s full of simulcasts from bbc world news anyway or merge them.Not a good idea as well, it's vital for the BBC to have a news channel for UK viewers.
