The UK version of the BBC News channel could be making a comeback

The Telegraph is reporting the channel will focus on UK current affairs in the lead up to the next general election.

The corporation combined its UK and world news channels on Monday 3rd April 2023 offering a global perspective at all times. UK-based viewers are switched to a separate feed if and when major news breaks in the UK.

Under new plans being drawn up, the news channel will focus on UK current affairs from 9am to 6pm with a BBC spokesman insisted the changes were only temporary in the run-up to the general election.
