So if the BBC want to give detailed coverage of the death of Nelson
Mandela why don't the just use BBC News, and leave the BBC 1 schedule
unchanged. Anyone who can receive BBC 1 can just watch BBC News if they
want.

I only watch BBC1,2,3 and 4. If you hadn't mentioned it I would forget
BBC News existed.

Because the BBC and many (the majority of?) viewers of BBC channels
consider BBC 1 to be the primary channel.

So why have a BBC news channel?

For people who can't wait for scheduled news broacasts..

I only watch programmes that appear to be interesting. I don't care
which channels they're on, and by the time I get to watch the
recordings I've usually forgotten anyway.

So why when I look at the BBC News channel is it showing almost
anything except
current news? If I want breaking or recent news I look at Sky
News.

Yes, but then you have to ignore the distracting news ticker.

Guess I forgot the smiley after my comment. It wasn't meant to be
taken seriously.

Thanks for the heads up regarding Sky News though.
