So the News Channel really does shut up shop and close down at 6pm now doesn't it? Half hour filler programs now at 20:30, 22:30 & 23:30. 
No half past the hour headline re-caps, no Sport after 19:00
All quite sad tbh.  

I suppose theoretically yes and only on from 0900-1800 and not 1300-1345. Salford hosts 0600-0900 and 1330-1345 and 1730-1845. So they are actually only on for 8 hours 15 minutes a day during the week. 

Not certain how many hours at weekends if any. Breakfast from Salford stops at 1000 on Saturdays and 0900 on Sunday but relays bbc1 till 1000.
