Scotland is just 8.2% of the UK population and they have access to The Nine already and I don't see why more than a handful of viewers outside of Scotland would be interested in news contextualised for Scotland.
That’s an interesting way to put things. Should we perhaps ensure that we don’t cover stories that affect black people? After all they only make up 3% of the UK population. Also if I’m not mistaken Katty and Christian is something of a US centric bulletin which is even further removed from England than Scotland? Yet that apparently is a superior offering?
One of the things that this pandemic has highlighted is the ignorance of many in England about how devolution in other parts of the UK works.
While there have been major improvements (Newsbeat in particular have been excellent) an hour of news from a non-English perspective could at be an eye opener to some. Breakfast from Salford has helped balance out some north/south guests over the past ten years after all.
I was just about to say that, it’s the same one that aired at 7:30pm. Does anyone know what’s happened to the papers or are is it starting at 10:45pm instead?

Bbc news with katty and Christian is a more US focused news bulletin but is there anything wrong with that? They have 24hrs and it’s one hour that’s focussed on the US and much of what happens over there will affect us as well.
Stories from Scotland are covered from 9am-9pm news on the news channel(when they’re not simulcasting and Excluding outside source)

Are they? Stories about NHS Scotland? Stories about changes to Highers? To a similar level as something that happens to NHS in England or GCSEs?
I’m not getting into this debate as it’s totally off topic but i reckon if I turned into the bbc news channel during the day and there was any stories about Scotland I’d find them out. I also live in Scotland and I believe news from here is mostly adequately covered.
Genuinely, I'd rather have Katty and Christian at 9pm on the NC / WN rather than The Nine any day of the week regardless if it has a US slant to it.
Since they moved to 9pm, it's a regular watch primarily for the humour between the two of them and the constant dry comments from Katty towards Christian.
If I wanted to watch dull, I'd watch The Nine on BBC Scotland.
This may sound like a ridiculous question but does studio E have a ‘closing time’ because Ben bland moved from E to C for the midnight bulletin but why do they change studios? Can’t imagine E is needed for anything at this time.

Started at 22:39. Clearly needed something to allow Ben to move between studio C and studio E. Would it really hurt that much to have had the late BBC One news from C this evening in order to reduce the numbers of presenter changes in each studio (considering everything should have been sanitised between presenters)?
