Does that mean BBC World News will finally be in UK?

It is as part-time service between 10am-11am, 7pm-8pm, 9pm-10pm & 11pm-6am.

Sorry, I meant the channel, not the simulcasts.

Well, we already got the BBC News channel, so there's no need for two BBC News channels here in the UK.

Sorry I got confused thinking it was under public ownership or something so I immediately thought BBC World News has to be made available in the UK.

Well 20 years ago certainly we could have done with both channels they were distinct and at arms length, not anymore though,

To anyone who has the BBC News breaking app, can confirm that it's the same music as the sting on BBC World summaries?

I mean, presentationally it was interesting, but, it's not like the content featured on BBC World didn't make its way through to domestic audiences. One of the upsides of the merging of various teams has been a sharing (much more readily) of content between channels but I do still think - for the average viewer twenty years ago - they wouldn't have seen any huge difference beyond a few nicer looking graphics and 'News in brief' which didn't geographically focus on 'the west'.

Is the Oscars special also going out on World? It's coming from Studio C. Or is World coming from somewhere else?

I was a bit confused when I saw Jane Hill presenting world news but I assume she did the 11-1 shift because she was presenting the oscars special.

Yes, saw a tweet yesterday saying it's airing on the domestic and World news channels

Joanna Gosling did the 11:00-13:00 shift on the news channel like normal, Jane seems to have been brought in just for the special again.

Interesting. Must be her first ‘World only’ shift since, well, ever?!

Not quite! I remember she presented at least once on BBC World in 2001. I've got a clip of it somewhere.
