At least this does give the News Channel and its staff some certainty. Though it's a shame that for a large part of the News Channel's history its biggest enemy has been the BBC itself.
Looks like the News Channel might not run Newsnight for the third night this week due to the breaking news in France - the presenter just mentioned that the NC would be about for 'the coming hour' and then 'sister station BBC World' would take over. Yet again this highlights how pointless the repeat is as it takes away from 45 minutes of rolling news.
EDIT: Nope, straight into Newsday at 11pm instead. It's being anchored solely from London.
I'm aware. I have had confirmation via Twitter from Martine Croaxall.

If BBC News wants to save money then why not show repeats of other programmes from 11:15 to midnight, i.e. the paper preview, Hardtalk, Our World, Click, instead of Newsnight?

Without knowing the ins and outs of it all, it probably comes down to some weird production thing which means that if they are BBC World News productions it could cost them more than showing BBC News produced shows. Just speculation but it is the BBC.
I'm not sure where to put this but presumes with both channels being saved with some more budget cuts, they need to cut jobs in BBC Monitoring and considering events at the moment, it's a critical service, which should be saved shouldn't it?
