How about the BBC further consolidate these four weekday domestic shifts into two weekday domestic shifts as follows:

Morning Shift (0900-1400, including News at One) [4 hrs]
Afternoon Shift (1400-1800) [5 hrs]

Personally the News at One shift should start with the News at One.

One of the big issues at franceinfo across the Channel where their equivalent of the Ten bulletin and the entire weekend evening shift is one and the same is that they can't react to breaking news as well as competitors. There was this one occasion when they just couldn't do rolling coverage as the presenter had to prep for the 11pm main bulletin (equivalent of the Ten/One here) so between the news breaking during the evening shift and 11pm it was mostly just the usual padding.
