BBC News and BBC World to merge

[DTV]

But they said they would cover breaking news in the UK stream only and not on the channel, so no we're not overreacting, you can see the backlash that it's received especially from unions and staff.
Also I don't know if anyone's mentioned this but will the presenters still say Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening and what time it is in the UK or will that be dropped. That's why merging the News channels is the biggest mistake and one that is unforgivable.

The UK stream is the UK version of the channel.

These are early plans, don't be surprised if the final plan allows for a greater UK opt that than the initial suggestions. The BBC will have known that there would have to be negotiations with unions, these will be a 'hard' start point to allow for a 'compromise'.

During simulcast hours with BBC News (World), they will not be using time signifiers. Obviously.

Saying it is the biggest mistake BBC News has made is overreacting.
