I do wonder if the 5 Live idea is a workable one. It would allow them a national speech backbone, with the option to have local shows at certain times daily (and at any time if the area needs it for weather/events reasons). Plus 5 Live need to make cuts/changes so it's a double cost saving idea.
As has been noted, the schedule now runs in the same blocks across the lot - apart from BBC Radio London, and i'm not quite sure how they've escaped it. But I always thought this was a stepping stone to networking certain slots.... you can link up a certain show across Solent/Sussex/Kent etc without too much schedule upheaval.
