Extending both would allow them to drop a slot occupied by another programme (or programmes).Absolutely, morning it's quite easy to see how you can cut a slot out or two and extending Breakfast and Morning Live is a very cheap way of doing that. Afternoon is where it's trickier to know how any alterations would work. At the minute, it's all (other than Doctors) 45' programmes, though obviously a few of those shows have different alt lengths that could presumably be made the norm. I suppose it depends on whether the extended hour-long News at One refers to just the national news bit or includes the regional news. Though, as I said, a short 15-minute mid-afternoon bulletin could plug any gaps in the schedule, again at little extra cost.
