Judging by the Annual Reports... it's close enough. For the year 2017/2018, she was earning £180,000-£189,000 from BBC News (100 shows). For the year 2018/2019, she was earning £255,000-£259,000 for BBC News (100 shows) and BBC Question Time (10 episodes).
You'd be surprised! I just refreshed my memory by reading this. Tina Daheley gets more than Louise Minchin and Jane Hill. Absurd.
BUT, it's an international channel, not a European channel. Newsday's remit fitted the bill perfectly. It was a great 2 hours of viewing. I'd much prefer Newsday to just another generic World bulletin.
I am a little confused, as the press release mentioned:

It's a radio programme. There is no mention of the BBC World News TV programme Newsday.

It is possible that one of the major cuts will be the end of separate presenters for the six and ten, especially if as most of us believe the five will be scrapped and therefore a large part of Huw's on air work is no longer required (meaning that he will now be available for the six). If this is the case it would be entirely possible that the six and ten will only be presented by Huw and Sophie on a regular basis. If this occurs and the one remains part of a news channel shift shared by Simon and Jane (with one of them also picking up some other NC work to fill their contracts) they'll simply be no need to keep all of the other more expensive presenters who regularly do BBC One on the payroll (Ben, Clive and Reeta) and at least one of them would look likely for the chop.

Newsday is a breakfast programme for the asian market which would be totally inappropriate to show on the news channel at 23:00. On the basis that it is likely that evenings are remaining simulcast it would look as though retaining newsday in it's current form isn't a viable option and shifting it backwards would interfere with the america targeted overnight bulletins that are sold to PBS and rate well abroad which means that it would appear to be of little sense to keep the programme. It would also make sense as this would allow for the team in Singapore to remain at it's current smaller level (since Rico Hizon left) which provides a saving without making anyone redundant.
I would have thought that when Marr and Newsnight return to having several guests in the studio for each show, they will their old studios to move between segments.
Regarding BBC cutting roles / shows and bringing them back in a different guises they have done this with management roles. The controller roles of individual TV and radio services were abolished, only to be shortly replacing by new channel editors / Heads of Station.
It's a shame to see In Business end on Radio 4 which has been running for decades.

You appear to have completely misunderstood my post.

Think you've misunderstood mine actually. People aren't taking the line about the radio programme to be about the TV programme but rather the line about evenings continuing to be simulcast to mean the current evening schedule is remaining. Whether or not there is to be changes to the radio programme of the same name is irrelevant really.

But that is the only announcement about Newsday in the press release - the radio programme.
It's the only direct line, however it clearly states the channel and world will continue to simulcast in the evenings. This indirectly implies the end of Newsday, the TV programme as the current simulcast in the time slot previously held by Newsday contains a completely different focus which is much more suitable for an evening programme on the NC and is therefore likely to continue. For pretty obvious reasons they are not going to individually name every programme that is not returning especially in cases like Newsday where the Mail and other similar papers are unlikely to have ever heard of the programme.
As said above, sadly I can see Fiona and George being the ones for the chop. Without going into fantasy land mode, the schedule will then look like:
ONE
Mon-Thu: Simon
Fri and deputy: Jane
SIX
Mon-Thu: Sophie
Fri and deputy: Clive/Reeta (alternate)
TEN
Mon-Thu: Huw
Fri and deputy: Clive/Reeta (alternate)
WEEKENDS
Clive and Reeta would take it in turns to do both Sat & Sun every weekend
(Mishal would concentrate solely on the Today programme and Kate would continue to freelance when necessary. Clive & Reeta would do more reporting to fill out their salaries).
NC WEEKDAYS:
9-11 Victoria (Mon-Thu) / Carrie (Fri)
11-1 Joanna (Mon-Thu) / Annita (Fri)
1-4 Simon (Mon-Thu) / Jane (Fri)
4-7 Ben (Mon-Thu) / Martine (Fri)
7-12 Simulcast with BBC World inc. The Papers
As I understand it, Newsday (TV) hasn’t been mentioned at all. Previously it was on World News only at 2300 then simulcast on News Channel at 0000 and 0100.
