Going into conjecture territory here.

Wonder if that is why Carol Lowe over on Twitter has mentioned that NWT is either among the last or is the last to receive a Studio B style regional studio as they are seeing what the situation is with Sportsday / Sport Today* first and hoping to do an instant transfer from the current SQ2 - I believe it is called as it was alluded to either in the Blue or Purple Places - to the new studio when the time comes. Kind of hedging one's bets given the amount of shared staff for Breakfast and NWT and the ease of using one studio instead of two.

*Delete as appropriate for whatever brand they go for.

I can see them keeping Sport Today and Sportsday, purely due to video and image rights.

The sensible thing would be to keep two opts each hour, at which point the news channel can focus on UK news whilst World is viewing sport and vice versa. 

As for Breakfast - they could really have shared with BBC Sport ever since they decamped into the studio for the 2016 Olympics, with any clashing opts just switching to the NWT studio (with NWT updates in the bulletin studio).   It probably is slightly easier though for NWT to share the space.
