Even if each presenter only does one day a week the One and extended Breakfast is certainly adding to their hours or taking them away from other activities e.g. pre recorded interviews.
I'd have thought the One would need its own presenting team which will undoubtedly mean on occasions some travel cost.
Ben Thompson could be a possibility. He's no stranger to Salford, but now only occasionally presents Breakfast as a fill-in - he's more likely to be seen presenting down in NBH these days, of course.
