Bbc News Channel

How come this channel switches to their Singapore studio late in the evening?

Stock Exchange updates when ours have shut?

Perhaps our journalists want night rates.

Don't watch the aBBC. Remember some oriental lady demanding and getting the same pay as their US correspondent.
And that poor chap had to invent new stories about Trump 24/7.

It's similar to what happens with BBC Radio 4 late at night (and into the early hours of the morning), with domestic programming coming to an end for the day but with the transmitters then carrying BBC World Service programmes until Radio 4 comes back on air later on.

Although the BBC News channel doesn't completely end its own output late at night, it does start to incorporate some programming from BBC World News (which is the TV side of BBC World Service), with Newsday being a BBC World News programme targeted in part at the Asian business community.
