I can't remember if I posted this here and I'm having trouble searching at the moment so apologies in advance. I'm curious is BBC World News subtitled/captioned? I only ask because it's not here in North America (I know for sure it's not in the US or Canada).
I live in Canada and I have seen closed captioning on some recorded shows such as HardTalk.
I think BBC world should have more news time and less commercials for european feed.
That would be nice but from what I've read, the current UK government despises the BBC. I believe it was mentioned on this very forum sometime ago that there's a need for the BBC to increase advertising revenues from abroad to cover the funding cuts.

There has been a real term cut in licence fee revenue since 2010 after the last coalition government froze the cost to consumers. It's very likely the Conservative government who were elected in May will keep the freeze.
Domestic channels have had budgets cut, the News Channel now has more simulcasting with WN and a mid-morning show with BBC Two and BBC Three is set to go online only at some point in 2016.
WN is not officially available in the UK due to how the channel is funded.
Out of curiousity how much does BBC World News contribute to the BBC News budget?
If any of you are curious at how much a 30 second spot on world news you can head on over to their advertising rate card. The most expensive time here in North America is from 5-8AM where a single ad costs $1000. The most expensive ad break comes for their European feed from 1900-0000 CET at a whopping $4800.
I was shocked to find channels average viewer in the US has a personal income of $157,799. I did some digging and found that only 23% of Fox News viewers have a household income of more than $75,000.

I don't know, maybe 4-6 millions. I want to extend the BBC News headlines at half past the hour from 1 minute to 2 minute, because the summaries are too short and cover 4-5 stories.

Those are actually pretty cheap rates as far as TV advertising goes. Nothing all too whopping about buying airtime on digital tier cable television no matter the country.

I hope that's per month.
I imagine they make atleast much money from retransmission fees from US cable and satellite companies a month.
I noticed that after Outside Source BBC World went to break and at 17:30GMT they had Tanya Beckett anchoring German Chancellor Merkel and French President Hollande's press conference on the Greek referendum. Normally at 17:30 they typically air Focus On Africa and once the presser was over they joined the show already in progress halfway through a taped package. I'm a bit curious as to why they did not wait until the press conference was over to start an abridged version of the show as opposed to dead rolling it. Is Focus on Africa normally taped (if it's taped that explains the JIP) or live?
I was looking at BBC World's Africa feed schedule and it appears that the 17:30 GMT show is the only airing each day. If the show was repeated I could understand the need to record a full half hour for later reruns.
In case you didn't know JIP means join in progress and dead roll means that a recorded or live show starts at it's regular time but is not seen on air due to a live event. Once the event is over the station would JIP the show that already started.
