BBC News Channel not currently taking the News at Six
How often does this happen?
Has happened in the past, for example BBC News Channel took only the first 30 minutes version of Outside Source that's normally just for World News only, when Jo Cox was killed. As mentioned before, major developing stories will sideline the network bulletin as that's primarily for BBC One viewers.
