It’s as if when ITV announced they were leaving the ten o’clock slot, the BBC seized the opportunity. Now where have we heard that story before?
I think it was FAR more to do with the Premier League highlights rules changing this season.
Peston really didn't trouble Marr in ratings terms, and Marr was at 0900 for a long time before Peston launched.
This was almost certainly a channel decision to move Match of The Day to a later slot to increase ratings for it.
It was just a joke.
Definitely a recent decision to move Marr to 10:
For people asking, The Jeremy Corbyn interview was pre-recorded at 9 because when he accepted the invite that was the time of the Marr Show. Since then we have moved to 10am and he was unable to move with us. So it was our fault and it is unedited.
