This is a budget question, not a rota question.

Do we really think the BBC are preparing to allocate a sizeable year round budget for (PEAK TIME) travel and when required, accommodation to and from Salford for existing presenters who've only recently transitioned full time to the Network team. It was only two months ago there was confusion about their futures in London when the merger happened, including Hill, Chakrabarti and Brown. The Network team is already on the heavy side as it is with some presenters only getting one or two slots a week.

From watching various YouTube clips of how the One, Six and Ten are produced, I seem to remember the presenter usually arrives to for the first meeting, some 6 hours ahead of going to air.

I just can't this coming to fruition, if indeed this one source is on point.
