30 years!, happy bday bbc world news. notice the still not reithed title sequence in the background

Sorry I meant the channel not the simulcasts

I mean, apart from the on screen text being ever so slightly different, it is the same. I really can't imagine a situation in which UK viewers would see BBC News and BBC World News (as stand alone channels) next to each other; it'd be confusing.

As for whether it's available on other platforms (ie. online), again, I'd really struggle to see a rationale as for why you'd want to take viewers away from the main BBC News brand.

Exactly, there may have been a justification a few years ago when the two channels had largely separate output (excepting overnights), but unless we see a decrease in the number of simulcasts - which is unlikely for the forseeable future - there is no real need to have two BBC News channels that are only different for a few hours a day.

I watch it online. It's very similar to BBC News UK now, in appearance (like CNN US and CNN International are).

How can you watch it online? Just for curiosity, I haven't found the channel's livestram on youtube

There's about a minute delay or so from real time.

Thank you very much Sir! Really appreciated!

Brilliant we can now all see a well lit and decorated Studio C at 5:30pm in the UK

Wasn't it 19:00GMT BBC World Service TV Launch so if they do something wouldn't it be simulcast in the UK?

It’s hard to believe bbc world news is 30 years old, but I think it’s best era was the flags and the China red, now it’s too Samey and too perfect.

I miss the days when the breakfiller used to breakdown
