We mentioned that the BBC News channel publishes different schedules for different parts of the world, and is not necessarily 'simulcast' globally, as suggested by Global Director Jonathan Munro.
It's even more nuanced than that. A reader in Australia notes that earlier this year, the BBC pulled all its channels, including BBC News, from Foxtel, the country's largest TV provider, with 4.5m subscribers.
Fans of Amroliwala et al now either have to buy a Fetch Box (c£220+) to add to their broadband, or try via the BBC app or website. (The app just takes you to the website).
Those who click through are pointed to three time zones, branded Central African Time, East African Time, or GMT. You might have though "Asia Pacific" would make more sense.
