I can see it working permanently for some shows, particularly news programmes. If they put the Today programme on BBC 2 with a clock and graphics, I'd happily jump ship from GMB.
Why not just listen to Today on Radio 4 ?
On that topic, there was this experiment in Scotland
They have lots of odd jingles and theme tunes they play between songs. Today it was the Roobarb theme.
"Jeremy Vine, Jeremy Vine, Jeremy Jeremy Vine!"
Actually this talk of radio studios reminds me that when Mark and Lard were on Radio 1 in the afternoons, there was a week around the turn of the century where there studio was bring refurbished, and so instead they did the show from the television studio at BBC Manchester, with a Radio 1 Roadshow desk plonked in the middle, and it was so big they had races around it while the records were playing.

I do. However, my mother gets rather irritated if I put radio on the TV. I also like to be able to see something on screen, even if it is just the studio. I have it on my radio in my bedroom in the morning. However, I am unable to stare at the house opposite or a screen reminding me of the programme that I am listening to for 2 hours. I'm sad, but not that sad.
That 6 Music daytime schedule has been unchanged for a very long time. Steve Lamacq had the teatime slot since 2005, Lauren Laverne's morning show is the baby of the lot, beginning in November 2009.
In fact it's Radcliffe and Maconie that's the newest show on the 6 Music daytime schedule. The recent ten year celebration included their four years on Radio 2 evenings, before they moved to their current slot in April 2011. Overall though, the 6 Music schedule has remained exactly the same for quite a while - I don't think there have been any changes whatsoever since Iggy Pop started his Friday evening show about two years ago.
It's been a remarkably consistent station, as illustrated by this tweet from Gideon Coe (previously of the 10am-1pm show until he was replaced, if memory serves me correctly, by... George Lamb).
Happy Birthday @BBC6Music . Special mention to "lifers" Craig, Chris, Tom, Stuart and Liz. And Cardwell, Runacres and Cracknell.

In 1980, to celebrate 50 years of broadcasting from the BBC's Edinburgh studios at Queen Street, Good Morning Scotland was simulcast on BBC One Scotland, pioneering breakfast television on the BBC (ITV station Yorkshire Television had broadcast a breakfast programme for six weeks during 1978 and thus laid claim to the first semi-regular British breakfast television broadcast).
I wish the other radio stations had a similar presence in the (TV) iPlayer. 5Live has a multi camera webcam stream on its website, why can't I watch that on my Smart TV or Roku? Particularly for some of the appointment to listen shows like Fighting Talk.
NRK in Norway broadcast their version of 'PM' on TV and Radio. Whilst there are around 60,000 who listen to it daily on the radio, 100,000 people watch it on TV. I conveniently discovered this very recently as I have started to learn Norwegian. You can find it on NRK 2 (TV) & NRK P2 (Radio).

Yes, confirmed (or lifted !) by/from this BBC article !
I thought it was earlier than Dec 1980, but googling the Italian earthquake dates, it seems to match.
I see Good Morning Scotland was launched on Dec 31 1973, curiously the same day Scotland's first 'full'
local radio station launched, Radio Clyde I don't think it would have troubled Clyde !
And wasn't Mr Currie of this parish, Clyde's mid morning man back then ?
New Zealand's MediaWorks have been doing radio/TV simulcasts for a while now. They do really well with the captions/screens and making the TV side of things actually worth doing (nice camera moves etc).

I thought it was better when it was Paul Henry. I liked the idea, but I couldn't see it working over here. If they were to simulcast a radio programme on TV here, it would likely be a current programme, not a new one.
