Whilst I think there is some logic in visualising some of the radio output I'm not sure an existing phone-in is the best option. Ideally they'd have launched a new show across 5 Live and BBC News designed more to be simulcast, perhaps more focused on talking to the newsmakers of the day than taking calls. Of course though the Nicky Campbell show is pretty successful for 5 Live so they won't want to mess with that (even if they are willing to dump the content usually on BBC News / BBC2) - but can't help but feel it's a question of when, not if, at the moment that 5 Live gets butchered in the way the News Channel has been.
