I suppose it's a good opportunity for them to familiarise themselves with the main BBC and BBC News hierarchy and allows them to feel part of the channel rather than just isolated in some outpost. Also some of the British-born presenters will presumably have friends or family in the UK, so would surely jump at the BBC offering them to bring them over for work.
