I’m not sure I understand the benefits / point of moving a programme around different locations. It’s a silly idea that will add absolutely nothing.

Exactly.  Practically if you're getting the regions to contribute they need regular shifts.   Indeed in terms of the News Channel alone, forgetting any requirements of BBC1, Salford producing say a 10-12 slot would be more beneficial than extending the two BBC1 slot.


I've always found some countries obsession with news a bit odd and how many hours it takes up but usually once you have a newsgathering operation in place getting extra hours out of it is a cost-effective way of filling hours and appear to be prioritising PSB too.
