I thought due to restrictions it was brought back to the main Presenters and stayed like that ever since.I thought the driver for the first half hour just with the newsreader came about when the programme was extended to 09:00, so the main presenters still did 2.5 hours.
Wasn't it also a chance for people to actually get some news, before the programme descended into a 'Morgan Monologue' for 20 minutes?
Yes you are right. But it was scrapped just before Lockdown in March 2020. It then came Back but it then it was scrapped again I think in January 2021.
