Evening television reporting spends about 30s on any one topic, so much so that the dominant effect on the viewer is however the presenter framed the topic initially. This is nothing like that.

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.
