Surely the option to remove all the news simulcast on Bbc2 and just ‘open’ the channel later would save cash? Similar the BBC Scotland should have done the same rather than simulcast bbc2 most of the day!


It might save cash, but what would it cost in terms of prestiege, when literally every channel, even the cheapest of cheap and cheerful is available 24 hours a day? Nobody wants to go off air anymore, lest they lose the few viewers who are actually watching them, and they switch over to some other channel and never come back.

What if they replaced the News Channel with World News, but continued with Newsroom Live and Afternoon Live on BBC Two? Therefore a much higher quality (in my opinion) news channel, but retaining a UK-focussed rolling news format at key times.

My idea would be
06:00-08:00 Breakfast (continues till 9am on BBC One)
08:00-08:30 BBC World News
08:30-09:00 Worklife
09:00-10:00 BBC News at Nine – Simulcast on BBC Two
10:00-12:00 Newsroom Live (Including WBR & Sportoday)
12:00-13:00 A GMT style programme – Simulcast on BBC Two

The problem would be what to do with sport coverage which frequently pre-empts the BBC Two daytime schedule (which isn't a problem when it consists primarily of repeats, but would be a huge loss if it was the only BBC daytime news coverage)

Opt out of World News to show them.

They will get a lot of criticism over that, especially as Reeta helpfully pointed it out to those who hadn’t noticed, by apologising at the end.

BBC are rightly going to get a lot of flak for that. Last thing they needed after all the bad press over axing Victoria Derbyshire's show.

It's the last thing they needed after what happened a few months ago when Breakfast accidentally ran a 2016 clip of Boris Johnson laying a wreath on Remembrance Day and portraying that as occurring in 2019
