Thought not
I'm fairly sure that press releases regarding Nicky's show have alluded to a new studio for his programme - which indicates that at the very least, the radio studio he currently presents from will be revamped to a better standard. Also, in recent weeks when the NC has dipped into 5 Live, they have had some visualised callers and they've overlayed pictures on top of the audio, etc, and I'm sure that's what they'll be aiming for with the programme when it launches - don't forget, we don't know the format of the programme yet. Nicky's show might change slightly. It could easily be something a bit like Jeremy Vine on Channel 5 (use of columnists, panel discussion, etc) which is pretty popular.
