Should the 1 and 6 O'Clock News be axed?

There is a fair amount of validity to much of Moz's proposal, post-Analogue Switch Off. After all, as everyone who can receive any kind of telly signal whatsoever by then, will have access to BBC News 24, the BBC One simulcasts will become effectively "pointless".

However, I don't personally agree with the idea of a 9pm Newsnight. There something that "feels right" somehow, about it being on at a very late hour as it currently is.

It would however open a whole can of worms re: BBC Regional News.

It wouldn't make sense for BBC One to still carry regional news programmes, if no longer carrying national news bulletins to go alongside them.

Perhaps the only way round this would be to somehow make BBC News 24 be the one and only BBC telly channel with the technical structure for full nations-and-regions splitting capability, rather than BBC One (as is currently the case), and therefore move the regional news programmes to there. I have no idea how realistic, technically, that is though (?).

Ok, take science reporting. Do you seriously believe the presenters and reporters know what they're talking about? If so why do they peddle incredibly ill-researched/lazy stories? Are they having a laugh at thickies?

We've been through this...Christa's boobydoo's were just "lifted".

This might well be a good idea but what about the regional teams who spend all day creating news packages for the various news bulletins? I.e. At 1pm they usually have the headlines they'll be using that day on with a short package for each, by 6pm they have full packages to publish hense having 30minutes.

I think the current format is good, but Newsnight could be brought earlier.

Oh I'd make all regional reports accessible only via the red button, unless News 24 deems them good enough to feature for everyone to see. There's no place for minor local news on national networks in my opinion.

Sadly, BBC Hull's tit doesn't even have a parrot to co-present with him...

Some reporters are utter berks when it comes to science. Perhaps they should have a rule that science journalists should have at least an A level or IB in science?

How would you get around the problem where the odd region occasionally wants to time shift the network schedule for a very important non news regional prog?(Regional sports awards for example!)

Would the likes of 'Inside Out', 'The Politics Show' & 'The Super League Show', fit in on News 24?

By all means make News 24 regional, but either BBC One or Two still needs regional capability IMO.

I would've agreed with this idea for the PASO era, but really there is currently a duty for those with a Public Service committment to provide news on their main channels, and I think that should continue.

I actually quite miss the fact that Sky One used to do a "News Brief" at 5pm. But I don't think we could move towards a "60 Seconds" sort of bulletin on BBC One.

I will watch News24 for rolling news if there is something important going on (eg 7/7) but I would still then switch to BBC One for the full story at 1, 6 or 10. Then probably Newsnight at 10:30 for indepth.

I think it will be a long time before they could move established News programmes to the genre channels. (although they have clearly done it for Childrens programmes to CBBC/CiTV etc - but that doesn't matter they don't pay the licence or subs!)

Well that No good: You have forgetting about the local News at 6.30pm.

I don’t watch reporting Scotland – BBC, I prefer Scotland today. But where would you put that. There Question Remains, I can’t get a lot of Local news On N24, sky or the Internet

What on earth? Have you lost your ability to write a sentence?

Personally, I like the regional news because it tells you about your area specifically and stories that aren't as important as the stories at National news and the stories that may effect you, not the nation. It would leave so many people out of a job though, as there would be no point in adding regional news to the interactive screen, it would decrease viewers dramactically.

The reason why there is 3 news bulletins would be to serve the different groups of people. For example, I think 1 o'clock news bulletin is the 'starter' where stories are just being developed. Then we have the 6'o clock news which is watched by most families with mums where dads are still at work and older people, it's a 'lighter' version of the news. (Forgive me for sterotyping)

The 10 o'clock news bulletin is abit more serious (Huw Edwards does this well!) and for the people who work through the day and such.

Newsnight is indepth news reporting - IMO.

I think there should be 1minute news bulletins between programs though when the news isn't on though.
