A couple of years ago one presenter (Simon Jack) presented from Breakfast until the one o'clock news, and another (Maryam Moshiri) presented until after the Ten O'Clock News. Breakfast still has a business presenter, and another is on the NC during normal working hours - and both will have a proper compliment of producers/researchers assigned to cover business and economics. As has been said on this forum many times, the big cost of the business updates was the contributors fees of city analysts and guests - of which there used to be several a day. Now they are brought in on an as-needed basis.
Therefore it could be they've decided to use another format entirely, covering more stories in-depth than at present but without more interviews. The logical thing, surely, would be to obtain better rights/ co-ordination to replay business interviews that first aired on BBC World News, R4's Today, and BBC Five Live to keep costs down?
