Is it at the expense of the UK service?
BBC News channel runs 24 hours and presumably will continue to do so.
In the evening and overnight parts of it use a Singapore studio, not
sure if the Washington studio is also used part of the time.
They appear to be going to use the UK studio less, using Radio 5 in the
morning.
There will still be a 24/7 news service and I presume that if there is a
major UK news story they will report it from the UK.
They get some income from the TV World service.
