It then got temporarily extended (to 09:30) on BBC One after Kilroy was axed before falling back to finishing at 09:15 later in 2004. It was the April 2006 schedule change that saw News 24 begin opting out at 08:30 which continued until March 2020.It does feel like the 9.15am finish weekdays should possibly be reviewed. There's now Morning Live on BBC One, which presumably ticks the non-London quota. Additionally the News Channel now only cuts away at 9am, which I doubt will change when the news channels merge.
They could consider at 8.59am going to the regional news with...
"We say goodbye to viewers watching on BBC News, but for those watching on BBC One it's time for a last look at what's happening where you live."
Then afterwards post-9am potentially still having an interview and providing one last look at today's main news before handing over to Morning Live.
Alternatively simply finishing Breakfast at 9am and extending Morning Live to an hour. After all BBC Two is currently showing the news channel from 9am weekdays.
