Saves crashing in during a debate. I wish the BBC would just realise that having Nicky Campbell on BBC News Channel just doesn't work. 9am onwards is a busy time, especially in the UK when it comes to news.

Maybe they have if they're now considering potentially extending BBC Breakfast. I imagine most people would rather have a simulcast of Breakfast until 9.30am or 10am, followed by an hour of shared News output than the current arrangement. Breakfast seems to handle going into 'breaking news mode' fairly well, and also doesn't have to worry about catering for radio viewer who can't see pictures/videos. Nicky Campbell's 5 Live programme could still be simulcast on BBC Two, where it's more than suitable in my opinion.
