I for one am in favour of the scrapping of the 1, 6 and 10, and just getting BBC One to show half an hour of News 24 output at those times. For the difference it makes having the separate programmes, it's not worth the money. If they're going to make cuts, I'd rather it be that than cuts to reporters and bureaux. The 1 and 6 are so dire anything would be an improvement!
That would the worst decision the BBC could take - you've got to take the audience into account, not just yourself.
The 1 and 6 get ALOT of viewers and I watch the 10 mostly so that be very stupid. Regular news bulletins are just annoying, if you want that go to BBC news 24. It's like removing the national lottery.

The only justification for scrapping bulletins is if you can say any given 30 minutes of N24's output would be as rounded, analytical and with a clear agenda as full bulletins
should
be (I'm saying that because I don't really want to get drawn into a 'Natasha Kerplunky is a vapid bitch' type discussion).
And N24 is just nowhere close to being there, and really, I'm not sure it should want to be there. They have two pretty different functions, and considering half an hour of bulletin and half an hour of rolling news as interchangeable would be a really rubbish mistake.

It would be a bad idea to scrap the nationals IMO as they provide a full summary of what's happened with some analysis whereas N24 provide a shorter summary of all the stories and spend more time on the analysis of one particular story. I can't see them scrapping the nationals even if they need to save money.
I think a much better cost-cutting option would be to, as one poster said, stop each news programme sending a separate journalist to a location but instead send fewer journalists who produce reports for all programmes.

Surely only one daily roundup is needed.

I'd say two, the 6 and the 10 with one at weekends and bank holidays. Originally I thought that you suggested getting rid of all of the national bulletins therefore removing any comprehensive round-up.

I would agree - who only need the 6 and 10.
Just simulcast 1/2hour of N24 at 1pm and call it...um....News 24 Today
Like a daytime version of News 24 Tonight. At the end they could say "News 24 Today continues on BBC News 24 on BBC the news where you are."
I can see that working, and would help promote the N24 brand to BBC One viewers.
