A specially made separate programme with high(ish) profile host, specially made “films” etc. Compared with just a standard hour of rolling news
Then something happened around 2015, a change of management perhaps (and by then we'd had 5 years of austerity driven by the coalition government, including the freezing of the license fee), and suddenly mornings were classed as not important for providing coverage of developing news and fair game for cuts.
