Phone in shows do well on the Radio, and so having a discussion show makes a lot of sense. Reducing the runtime is not great, but if they focus on a single story to discuss, the next news bulletin is not too far behind
It should just be on BBC Two looks out of place on the News Channel, but hopefully the new look solves this issue.

I can't see that happening while the editorial agenda remains the same. You can tart up the graphics and the set, but it's still Victoria Derbyshire's female skewed radio show on the NC.
I find the moaning in this thread is more miserable than the TV programme, to be honest
Plus most people on this forum aren't exactly the 'target audience' - when it's young people and females that have clearly been the BBC's priority over the last few years.

You are joking in the case of young people right?
If the BBC cared about young people in the slightest they wouldn't have shut BBC3. The only reason they claim to aim stuff towards young people is that they have managed to convince elder people that we love low budget crap and have used 'targetting young people' as an excuse to save money.

Shut BBC Three? They haven't. It's online - like all the other TV channels. Who watches TV on a TV anymore? I certainly never do - with the exception of News.

The lovely films are chopped up and used with other BBC online youth aimed websites. Where most of that funding comes from.

When BBC Three moved from being a linear channel to an online only service its budget was cut from £85m/year to £25m/year. That's not a closure, but it meant a massive reduction in content produced for the service and its audience. To many the old BBC Three ceased to exist and 'shut' when it disappeared as a channel, and the new service was effectively something else.
The issue wasn't the move online, it was the massive cutting back of content creation for the BBC Three audience. The move to be online early was needed to 'hide' this to a degree, as a linear channel run at that budget level would have been hugely repeat-heavy. Audiences treat 'content available online for 12 months' very differently to 'content shown repeatedly on a linear channel for 12 months'...
Since then BBC Three's budget has slowly increased (I suspect there is a budget increase for shows also shown on BBC One now) but it's still running at less than half the level it was before it moved online.
I am currently in a cafe watching the 1 o'clock news and either:
BBC One is taking the ticker and signed version normally seen on the News channel, or
The Midlands Today headlines insert has just aired on the News Channel.
Edit: ticker and signed just disappeared so I think the former in error.
The 6 having some issues tonight, one package missing so Clive moved onto the next story, which didn't appear to have a package either* so he didn't even introduce it and went onto a third which was ready.
*edit: the second one was due to be a live to the Home Office which I guess wasn't ready so that's why they moved on
