Co-presentation in two locations has a long history - starting with the main evening World Business Report in 2000, then the London-Washington bulletin, then the 03:00 UKT World News Today, and, more recently, Newsday and 100 Days. There was also a brief period of summary newsreaders for some of the branded programmes after the 2010 relaunch, but that didn't last.
Traditional double-headed presentation - i.e., two presenters of roughly equal footing in the same studio - has had fleeting appearances - at least one programme had two presenters in the mid-1990s, the 10:00 hour was doubled-headed between July 2008 and February 2010 and the 22:00 edition was double-headed between March 2011 and June 2012. I guess you could count The World Today/Euro Breakfast as double-headed, but it never really was.
