On the other hand why should North West Tonight get it's own studio when BBC London no longer does? Ideally both would have their own studios, but it just seems odd the BBC can afford a dedicated regional studio up in Salford but not in London.
The trickier bit perhaps would be the handover if the One does move up to Salford, though unless the lunchtime edition is axed due to a longer One they'd be some sort of handover anyway. And of course switching from a network programme to another presenter taking over in the studio seconds later is nothing new at all - the 6/10 & London arrangement may be new but it had been happening on the news channel for years.
Perhaps though the redundancy is deliberate so that Breakfast has a back up location in Salford should they be unable to use their own studio - although I think other than those planned couple of weeks out of the studio during the Olympics every four years I can't recall them having an issue which meant they couldn't use the studio over the last 13 years.
