Better if you just keep this to one thread.
I hope WN and the NC get a voiceover for their bullitens, like the voice at the end of the World countdown, something like "From BBC World News, this is *programme name* with *name* (Live from studio *letter* at New Broadcasting House) "

Tomorrow the BBC is starting a new, Hindi-language weekly magazine in co-operation with the Indian ETV network. Global India is gonna be a half-hour show focusing on the most interesting stories of the week, along with some And Finally-type of human interest stories. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2012/311012-bbc-hindi.html

"Banned" is rather a strong word. You are aware that BBC World is freely available to anyone in the UK? All you have to do is point a satellite dish at either Hotbird or Astra and you can see it 24 hours a day. That's not illegal. It's just that BBC World is not actively offered to domestic audiences by the BBC on our own broadcast platforms because it's funded by advertising.
I suspect the reason British users are redirected to the UK news summary is because it's more relevant to us, not because it's "not as good". To most British people, a shooting in Angola or a landslide in Sri Lanka is not really going to matter a whole lot to them. Our domestic BBC News programmes cover essential world news; the only stories that are left out are the very minor ones which are of little interest to British people.

Thank god. We have new activity on the thread. Went a little quiet there. If your desperate to find out about any move away from TVC, you can always check the guardian.co.uk. Believe it or not, they do cover media news of BBC WORLD NEWS tv channel for UK readers even tho most of their readers will not know the channel. Or you could check the section of the BBC website that covers any media news (Press releases) about BBC WORLD NEWS. Im not going to post the link to it as BBC will probably ban it to UK users if it becomes apparent. UK visitors were banned in February 2012 by the BBC who watched the BBC WORLD NEWS 1 minute news summary. UK visitors are now immediately directed to the UK news headlines. (Not as good.)
