It wasn't all 100% nailed down - I believe the BBC's plans for their studio-based non-news coverage moved around a few times. During the period where Studio B was being refurbished, they were looking at doing it in third-party studios, and I think the idea of doing it from V (and relocating the One Show to Morning Live's studio in Manchester) was a reasonably recent call.
