Logo

The current logo (File:BBC World News 2019.svg) should be restored to the infobox, since the newly uploaded logo (File:BBC_World_News_2022.svg) is not in use yet. The new logo was sourced from a Fandom page that claims it is "tentative". — Newslinger talk 08:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

might as well say that the current will be used since the page states when bbc world news shuts down 2407:7000:98C3:4D00:2810:C83D:43E1:D0BF (talk) 08:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

current logo i mean 2407:7000:98C3:4D00:2810:C83D:43E1:D0BF (talk) 08:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Venezuelan food crisis report

I was looking into the Venezuelan food crisis incident on 23th of feburary of 2019 and found that BBC had reported on it. However, some of the facts stated in the report have since been put into question by both The Intercept and the NY Times. I wonder if it might be a good idea to add a section about it into the article, or is it too small to be relevant? 193.183.194.67 (talk) 15:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Intercept only mentions BBC coverage in passing. Can't see NYT as paywalled. UNDUE imho. BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Previous bulletins" section: ambiguity

A sentence with too many clauses in this section was ambiguous: I corrected it just now after checking the source to clarify the ambiguity. (Alternative reading that I rejected: "A second broadcast at 22:00 ET ended in 2010. When BBC America introduced a second feed for the western time zones of the US on 18 February 2011, it was announced that BBC World News America would no longer be broadcast on BBC America and would instead be broadcast only on BBC World and local PBS stations in the US as a 30-minute programme.") — Spel-Punc-Gram (talk) 22:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with BBC News (UK TV Channel)

The 2023 merger of BBC World News and the BBC News channel complicates the nature of this and the UK news channel articles as they are now the same thing (except for infrequent opt-outs).

Currently, the existence of separate articles for these two entities can be confusing, especially for those unfamiliar with the BBC's history who wikipedia is naturally seeking to inform through the articles existing.

I propose merging the two articles into a single, comprehensive article. This would:

Provide a clearer picture of the BBC's news offerings.
Showcase the rich history and evolution of both channels.
Enhance user understanding of the current service.

This international article could be integrated into the domestic one, with dedicated sections detailing the international programming and history, and this would lend itself to discussion of the BBC Charter reflecting the debates which have surfaced with having a joined operation.

While this would be a significant undertaking, the benefits in terms of clarity and accuracy would be substantial.

The two article system was a temporary solution, and so it must be resolved.

Another way of resolving it would be changing this international article to BBC World News (1995-2023). And transfering all relevant information from the merger onto the domestic article so that it can explain more fully.

The articles mentioned are BBC News (UK TV Channel) and BBC News (International TV Channel), refer to their individual accounts of the merger, in order to see the reality of the service at current. U15627r473 (talk) 09:08, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
