Yes, if you aired this live on BBC One, where would it stop? Land speed record attempts?
It might have made a good live event programme in its own right though ?
I could reverse the argument, next time there's a live football match, should it just be covered on the News Channel, freeing up BBC 1 to show a repeat of 'DIY SOS' or similar mind numbing crap ?
Oops....Business Edition/WN DOG during the 9.30pm update....
I don't know why they don't just air Business Edition in the UK at 9:30, it's a pretty good programme and would save the NC from having to move studios.

Yeah I agree, Business Edition would be great addition to the current NC programme lineup.

With cuts to the business on the NC in the pipe-line, this would be a good way to at least in part compensate. I'm sure some sort of back-up studio would be available in Broadcasting House should they need to break away, on the very rare occasion.

That's if they decide to simulcast, it could simply be a repeat of the 9:00 edition, or a UK exclusive edition.
If they do simulcast, Hardtalk will need to be an hour earlier, and then there is the question of what to do about Sport. I do think having the full hour is better than having a World Business Report at 8:30 then Sport Today and then Business Edition?! just odd scheduling.
Something's gone wrong here... The World thread is talking about the handovers to the regions on the news channel / nationals, and here we're talking about a World programme.
Watching that coverage, it feels too global to be put out solely on domestic BBC News. Wholly irrelevant to most people. Just a small minority of British people affected by flight and business. There is an unclear division in the coverage between the weather and election coverage, and the whole coverage for a British audience feels all too worldly and simply aimed at an American audience, which we are not.
Other news of a Panorama investigation only started at :24 minutes past the hour at midday. Back on the coverage after the :30 headlines.
When I woke up to Breakfast running this as their main story, I thought the world had gone mad. Slow news day? Looks like it to me. This is not worthy of main news because it is simply not relevant to a British audience for the most part. I'd expect it on BBC World News, or a news channel catering for American audience. It's like an obsession at the moment and completely repetitive and vacuous until the storm actually touches New York. It's just all the run-up.
