This doesn't make sense - his show airs in the 10am to 2pm slot, and it's the post-2pm slots which are getting nationalised, right? He should've been safe. Did they fire him because giving someone else the timeslot will be cheaper? It's backfiring anyway, due to the negative publicity and the fact it's already impacted Look North.
All presenters were techically given the option to apply for the new breakfast and daytime slots, just like when Global axed all their breakfast shows but in many cases it was the drivetime presenters axed with the breakfast hosts moving to the slot.
