I think the trouble is BBC decisions never feel long term as a couple of years down the line something happens which makes you question that decision. Probably the same in all such large organisations to be fair.

From a viewer point of view though what was once the London problem now feels like the London and Salford problem.

What might be interesting and beneficial is if physically separating the One gives it a stronger editorial but I suspect part of the move is to ensure viewers don't see a huge difference.

I think the BBC often has its arm twisted into these changes based upon the whims of the culture secretary and the government of the day creating hoops the BBC have to jump through to keep the license fee.

The problem is it feeds into it detractors hands which can then say “look the bbc spent all this money to do x and now only a few years later their spending more money to change x to y.”

I completely agree it has now moved to a London and Salford problem. I sometimes think the balance is tipping the other way and it’s becoming too Salford based.

IMO I’ve always thought breakfast and now the one should come from NBH as thats the hub of their global news operation. Then news teams are based across the county in areas which are known for that subject eg climate change and sciences etc. move sport to Salford. You’ve got morning live from the north but also have the one show up there. Or even have the one show based mainly in Salford but once a week it comes from a region in the uk. That’s making it far more across the uk.
