It's only been on the UK News Channel for 9-10am for almost 2 weeks and it's listed as 9-10am next week as well, and this change can't be fully explained by the football as the phone-in has continued until 11am every day on 5 Live as normal. So a small victory there.Looking at the schedules for next week this remains the case. Given the football will have finished that seems to confirm the change as being permanent.
Personally I think Nicky Campbell should remain the full two hours on BBC Two, whilst BBC News broke away at 10am (or didn't show it at all). As a visualised radio programme on BBC Two it makes for a bit of variety, and it saves having two UK channels showing BBC News during the morning (or three when BBC Parliament is in recess).
