Overnights are watched by a fraction of the audience I assume, so it makes sense for them to cut costs and simulcast world in those hours... and nobody will really notice!
I think it's a useful way of still acting as if there is a break for those viewers who have one and then have the opt-out. It also makes sense to replicate this for all simulcast programmes that are shown on both channels.
I think it's good that the News Channel is using Twitter more in programmes as it is becoming more and more prelevant.
Does anyone know why the News Channel only has only edition of Aska Buisness Report and Sport Today now? Seems like a step back to me.
Also about Outside Source, people are complaining about the opt-out, it's part of the format and has been from the beginning despite there actually being an ad break in the World News only edition, it makes sense considering they are the same programme. Overnights have opt-out and in stings, yet nobody complains about that.

Double headed for the 2-5pm shift returned on Monday.

That's why, as I suggested, they should have cut to Outside Source from the start. They've done it before and it would be preferable to pleasing nobody by cutting from the Six after it's already started.
I think though it's hard when it's a simulcast like that to put in something like that, although Huw could have said something before handing over to the News at 6.

There would be no point in giving a time check, unless you say "It's 21:45 in the UK, 05:45 in Tokyo, 16:45 in New York" etc, which would be a complete waste of time.
They could do what morning shows in the U.S. do and say, "It's now 45 minutes past the hour." (Of course, there are some parts of the world with half-hour time zones, which makes things more complicated.)
Yep - and one of them has a huge population and is a big audience for BBC World News. India...

Neither programmes use the opt time to give a time check, which is something I thought they'd do.

They should replace the BBC News at Six simulcast with the early edition of OS.

However, none of them will be watching during the UK opt, which is when Critique suggested they would do the timecheck.

Yes, I wasn't suggesting that they do time checks when the rest of the World is watching (although I note that most of the time GMT's opening line after the titles is 'It's [time] here in London, [time] in [somewhere], and [time] in [where the top story is affecting]'). Someone on a previous page mentioned that not everywhere opts out to the adverts, but surely if there aren't adverts to display that's what the breakfiller is for?

Yes but some content - even if slightly UK focused - is better than what is essentially adverts on the breakfiller.

You mean apart from the "If you're watching in the UK, you'll get the ten o'clock news where Huw Edwards will be reporting on Alton Towers" bit just before they crossed to her?
Not even worrying about NC viewers. A preview of whats coming up on World News America with Katty Kay in Washington. Trying to do a NBH style with a camera dumped behind her.

The Alton towers piece was what, not even 10 seconds. Handed over to Katty for nearly a minute and a half. Why didn't Huw get a minute and a half?
