A one hour lunchtime news ... yes, remind me, wasn't that a ratings disaster for ITV Lunchtime News around 2005? No one wants a one hour lunchtime news.
There's currently 45 minutes of news at lunchtime, another 15 isn't that much more (assuming that the regional news is included in that hour which I think it will be). Whether there's an audience for it isn't as important for the BBC of course, what is it that it's 15 minutes of airtime for very little extra money.
