However, being shown on the news channel feels more like it's being shown primarily to increase UK opt-out hours. I'll try to reserve final judgement until this programme is actually broadcast, though I'm already rather sceptical.
Why would anyone tuning into a TV news channel want to do this though? (Roll eyes sarcasm)
If they think this works so well, and seeing as there's so much spin around the BBC now being a "digital first" news organisation, make Nicky Campbell's radio phone in available as a live stream on iPlayer and the BBC news website, and leave the TV news channel to report, umm, actual made for TV news......
But it seems Nicky Campbell's phone in will be forced on UK viewers on BBC 2 and BBC News (UK) whether we want it or not, with no option to watch the proper TV news channel between 9 - 11am in a few weeks time.
