A shorter, snappier programme might not necessarily be a bad thing for viewers as long as quality is kept high. ITV Regional News 6 pm programme could also be reduced to 20 minutes instead of the ‘shared content’ which is often nonsense.
Any region covering a big story can stay on until 7 if they have enough material.Or start the Regional News at 6:40 pm, extending the BBC National News to 40 minutes. Then play a sting at 7 for the Nations to opt in for the One Show proper. Cut the regional programmes by 10 mins focusing on actual news, the One Show starts 10 minutes early and throws to a couple of regions to introduce a package or live contributor for something lighter/fluffier. I've suggested elsewhere (it got left in the thread this got split from) that resurrecting Nationwide would be a better approach. I hope that BBC regions don't end up with anything that goes down quite that kind of route. But sometimes the package itself is 100% generic, and the job of reading out statistics etc to link the item to your region is only done by your region's own studio presenters before/after the package. If you're lucky, they might actually bother to at least make umpteen slightly different edits of the report itself to include the crowbarred nugget of regionality.
