The specific bit about the News Channel is....
We have already brought the editorial leadership of the News Channel in the UK and international World News together, so that live and breaking news happens in a single integrated model across digital, streaming and broadcast. Now we propose to go further and create output around a single TV channel called BBC News. We know there are stories which are key to UK audiences, but less relevant elsewhere, and vice versa – so not everything will be simulcast. However, there will be much more shared output and a fully co-ordinated approach. And we want to break new ground by creating output that can be simulcast on audio and video services.
And I suppose there will be a spare studio, fully maintained and ready to go at a moment's notice, staffed by a full crew who are not assigned to any other programme, and with a full production team with content and scripts fully prepared and researched, picture editors and OBs on standby ready to cover the news, 2 or 3 shifts a day 7 days a week.
It's almost like those resources could be used to, oh I don't know, maintain a full separate channel?
