This will presumably now mean the ‘main presenter’ will just start their day by voicing the next available change of ends round up after 4pm and won’t actually open any programme.
Sue used to do the whole thing until fairly recently, then she started going home at 6pm and then last year with the new BBC One evening session she would instead start late and stay to the end.
Of course the BBC1 evening slot is now arguably the prime slot rather than the BBC1 afternoon slot, though generally speaking it was the match rather than the time which determined if Sue stayed on and whether Clare got 3-4 hours or a 10 minute slot at the end.
I'd have thought for Day 1 though they'd have had Clare as lead presenter begin coverage on BBC1 at least, even if later in the week she doesn't start till the second or third match.
