Long shifts would effectively be a compressed hours type arrangement, as you say.
Everyone involved would have to work a shorter week and have more of a break before their next run of shifts, so you would need extra staff. Even if treated as a split shift, which it could be for some roles, it’s quite long with an anti-social starting time.
I don’t think Breakfast and lunchtime naturally go together at all.
It just feels like Davie’s latest idea to promote the regions, and at the same time perhaps vacate Studio E ready for a refurbishment (although there is no technical reason why they cannot use B at NBH for the News at One).
