I assume it’s just cost cutting and also, to an extent, part of a natural wind-down of CBBC given the BBC’s stated intent to close the channel soon. Clearly, with some kind of scale-back in the status quo almost certain (even if the channel isn’t closed fully and morphs into an online service) they are not going to be bringing on loads of news presenters, so sharing makes sense.
