Thats what a 24 hours news channel does, you can pop in at get a 15 minute news update any time of the day, you don't sit there and watch it for hours on end. Or do you?
You have to remember the BBC news is a global broadcast. Commercial one outside the UK, and it earns a fair few bob doing it.
I like the BBC, any broadcaster that is attacked by the left and right for being biased has pitched it just about right in my book.
And its output is superior to ANY broadcaster anywhere in the world, by a very very large margin.
If that means a few quid is wasted then so be it. I am happy for my taxes to fund it and to pay the license fee for it in its present state.
