The EC commissioning brief did say it was to 'hold on to as much of the Breakfast audience as possible'. And that the Breakfast programme was a 'primary entry point for new listeners'. 
Oh, and EC was to attract Radio 4 listeners who had been listening to the Today programme up to 9am.

I suppose the innovations such as guest interviews, the delights to be found in tweets to be shared with us all re-invigorates the flow of bile. Myself I'd replay Through the Night all morning if I wanted to hear R3 in the style of 20 or more years ago).
(Don't think I don't have my own dislikes - those young nonentities on Sunday morning when Martin Handley isn't presenting are a matter of grief when I seek a refuge from "Morning Service" on Radio 4 - just as an example. But for the record, I have no objections to Sarah Walker or Rob Cowan).
. What they rush to check, after yesterday, is how to pronounce Semiramide and Semiramis <smug smiley> . Oh, and they censure the producers of the running order since they should know presenters will just read what they see written down 
"Come nave in ria tempest" ???
