Why are news reports often repeated?

What listener's think of correspondents’ news reports being repeated.

A listener recently told us how he found correspondents' news reports that are repeated across different news shows “irritating”. We hear whether you agree with him. We invited BBC Newshour editor Tim De Faramond to respond listeners and understand why this repetition happens.

Plus, a listener feels a recent History Hour was wrong in its use of terminology. The show’s production team respond.
