Typical package in the U.K. is about 3 minutes, the main story will have 10-15 minutes on it, with probably two pieces from different correspondents on different angles, an in studio interview, and a live.

There’s then the in depth programs which spend half an hour or an hour on a specific subject (dispatches, panorama etc)

People are less interested in long form news though, so public service broadcasters in the U.K. have a duty to reach as many people in as many ways.
