I expect the NC will still leave at 8:59, with a sting, ahead of the 9am TOTH. They can then hand over live, in vision, to the Morning Live team on BBC One.
Longer term, they may opt to simulcast the additional half-hour on the NC but I doubt they will initially.
Presumably the nation/region opt point will be brought forward slightly so it falls before 0900 providing a neat opportunity for the news channel to opt out at the same time.
