For example you may get a business specialist who presents for a couple of hours several days a week and then goes on to provide the majority of the business coverage for the rest of the morning whereas another one of them may be a foreign correspondent who covers a couple of weekends a month in the studio when not on assignment.I think we'll need to wait to see who the presenter-reporters are before making these kinds of assumptions. I don't think we've heard a single word about business coverage on the new channel - while it would obviously be radical to drop business programming entirely, both channels have notably cut back on business over the years and there was something a while back (I think when Worklife launched) about the BBC viewing the market focussed WBR as a bit old fashioned, so not entirely out of the question.
Plus, if we assume that the five senior presenters are going to be in similar slots to now, I'd assume that Maryam Moshiri - a former business presenter - is going to be headed to the historically business-focussed European Breakfast slot.
