I almost always find the weekend news much better exactly for that reason - when they have a timeframe it is far more focused. It's also one of the reasons I was one of the few people who preferred the Nightly News over News at Ten. It won't happen but if C5 did happen to stick Eggheads at 6.30pm I think a 15 minute bulletin at 11pm would actually be a useful replacement and slot in their schedule nicely, though of course fail to meet any primetime news quotas. Newsbeat though does the 15 minute bulletin nicely on Radio 1.
Noting the Early Evening News clip there - shows him much I miss a snappy 15 minute weekday bulletin. Less can be more. No over analysis. Just news. Imagine Peston fitting into that structure!
