is this due to change in the future or not?
Very unlikely to, the budget is relatively tight. Particularly in the case of content that has come from the wider BBC, this has to be licensed through Worldwide and the money only goes so far. One particular property cost them an awful lot of cash even without streaming !
The situation is the same for the small amount of feature output on Arabic TV and hasn't changed since the launch last March.
Thoughts came up after watching promo:
Will BBC Arabic TV get new look and sound?
Will both BBC News channel and BBC World News drop current countdown sequence with red data streams?
Arabic are adopting the corporate branding but I can't comment as to exactly when. It's a bit sad that the package is going as it is very well liked by everyone and always attracts positive comments from people who haven't seen the channel before.
As for News Channel and World, it would be nice, wouldn't it !
Latest news on the launch front is that the promo film will start playing out from Bush House at some point tomorrow morning, probably earlier rather than later.
