Depends on whether you have a interest in news or not - some people may not have seen any news by the time they get home and say are watching EastEnders ... they may be people who have no real interest in watching 30 mins of news but just want to know what is going on very quickly.
True - but it's regional news where BBC One can establish a real point of difference from other channels. Regional news is a much more scarce commodity than national headlines.

A regional summary is a good idea. I wouldn't bother with the national headlines as you can get these on so many channels, but an extra regional roundup for people who aren't at home for the 6.30 programme is a great idea and really adds value.

Nah, that'd never work - what would BBC1 fill those three and a half hours with? And the regions need catering for - they work MUCH better straight after the Six , Ten et al.

Would it technically be possible for News 24 to split regionally? Must be possible on Sky and Virgin, but what about Freeview? That's the most sensible place for regional news surely.

I'd have thought it would have been much easier to achieve on Freeview than on Sky. The infrastructure won't allow that at the moment due to the way the multiplexes are encoded, and the way the network feeds get to the regions. But if money was thrown at it then it could be done.

Not personally aimed at this poster, but I cannot count the number of times people have moaned that Ms Kaplinsky does not work hard enough for her money!
Never a happy forum!

Oh good more Kerplunk-ski.......
Good move though for the BBC, have always liked the 60-Seconds bulletins on BBC Three, think it will be interesting to see how it pans out

Not near a Sky box to check the number but the BBC (West) Midlands channel in the 97x range.

well surely if the regional news was on n24, there'd no longer be a need to opt regionally on bbc one. so presumably they wouldn't need to invest an awful lot of cash into it, just switch to having 1 stream of bbc one, and regional versions of n24.
i know you asked whether it was technically possible - but the technicalities aside, with the bbc spending copious amounts of money, employing more than a dozen teams of people around the country to produce several bulletins a day, it would seem a waste of an awful lot of resources only for the output to be ghetto-ised onto news 24?
remember regional news isn't regional news. they are regional news magazines. a look at daily life in <insert region name>. yes there's news, sport and weather - but there's also fluff and sickly sweet feel good material about places we visit, work in, recognise, remember from the old days and what not.
its a hard concept for people in london and the nations to understand. network television is so heavily representative of london, londoners see places that they know/care about all the time across all genres of telly. whilst in the nations regional opt outs are plentiful with programmes reflecting different aspects of the areas across the schedule.
but in the english regions, magazine programmes are as much about entertainment and lifestyle as they are about news. something which i would argue very successfully bridges the gap between the hard news finishing at 6.30pm, to the start of the prime time entertainment shows at 7pm
i'd imagine there'd be nothing the bbc one schedulers would like to do more than fill the 6.30pm slot with a repeat of changing rooms - but would it achieve the comparatively good and steady ratings that the regionals get?
and would it be wise to continue to spend millions on producing regional programmes and yet move them off the flagship channel?
