On weekdays, BREAKFAST ends on BBC ONE only, the BBC NEWS channel having left the programme at 0830. At weekends, however, after BREAKFAST ends, the two channels go their separate ways into their own junctions, so it would be impractical for Salford to do a handover.
No reason they couldn't have an opt out point for the NC 30 seconds before the end of Breakfast to allow for a handover. They manage it often enough on World/News Channel simulcasts to allow for ads on world.

Why complicate things just for a handover to Saturday Kitchen?
It wouldn't be that complicated and as Breakfast already do a 2-way with Saturday Kitchen they could do a lot more than just a throw.
I would have thought that the decision whether to have a junction or not is up to the marketing department and how much they value that timeslot. It was the reason why the integrated newshours weren't that straightforward to introduce
