If they need to do a News24 substitute for a 1, 6 or 10 then Huw Edwards' Five O'Clock should be used as the template for these new dual purpose bulletins.

Why should BBC One be priority? It's news, so it makes sense that the news should be provided by what is the news channel.
Anyway the BBC have said that 24 takes priority over the 1/6/10.
Yes, I agree that they could get away with News 24 providing the news for BBC One. However, I disagree that they should just dip into News 24 in its current state. If they are going to do that, then the rolling nature of News 24 must stop during BBC One time and a proper bulletin should be produced. They would have to give up their commitment to rolling with breaking news if they are going to provide bulletins for BBC One.
They do that now. Admittedly they can break away but they dont do that often.
But that's BBC One's news team producing those bulletins. If News 24 was to drive the BBC One programmes, there would be a temptation to break news.

That's a horrendous suggestion. "Dipping" into News 24 would be dreadful. BBC One ought to be the priority. If anything, it should be News 24 producing a bulletin for BBC One and halting their own rolling coverage (as wrong as that is).

BBC World is not aimed at British expats and holidaymakers -- they represent only a tiny segment of the channel's audience -- but rather at a wide range of English-speaking viewers around the world. Replacing BBC World with BBC News 24 would make as little sense as, say, replacing CNN International with CNN (USA) around the world.
Just how large is BBC World's audience ? Are there any figures published ?
76 million per week at the last survey.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/05_may/21/global.shtml
It reaches more than 280 million households (147 million 24-hour homes) and more than 1.3 million hotel rooms. It is also available on 50 cruise ships, 37 airlines and 29 mobile phone platforms.

Interesting, thanks for that. BTW what's a "24 hour home" ?

It means they can watch BBC World 24 hours a day rather than during selected hours (i.e. on BBC America, PBS stations, etc.).

And now the BBC are being gifted £70m a year to provide an Iranian version of BBC World which will probably end up being censored from the people it's aiming to serve.
And the BBC may like to tell us it's not being funded by the licence fee - but it's still coming from the British taxpayer.
Maybe it's time the BBC became more concerned with maintaining it's reputation in Britain itself rather than being this big global brand bringing BBC values to every corner of the world - whether they like it or not!

In what way?
It's funded by the Foreign Office - which ultimately is funded by us!
Because the British government appreciate the way the BBC brings British ideas and values to parts of the world with less democratic regimes.
Better to pay for a service broadcasting truth and honesty to a nation than to spent billions bombing the hell out of them.
The BBC has a long tradition of bringing hope and truth to peoples of the world. From war torn Europe in the 1940's, through Soviet Russia, to the oppressed people of Burma today.

Ah but your assuming the money would still be given to the BBC if they didn't set up this new BBC World Arabic channel when clearly it would probably not be!

So the British Empire is dead - yet nobody remembered to tell the BBC!
And Burma is still oppressed, isn't it?
