Yes, I recall when Nick Robinson took on his Today role, he replaced Jim Naughtie (who was a far more rigorous interviewer), and there was some strong suggestion that the Conservatives had brought about the change. During that period Cameron and Osborne were making public comments (i.e. threats) about potential changes to the BBC, and whenever they were on a programme such as Today, they would make a point of talking derisorily about it being a radio 'show'.
That said, they've since taken on Mishal Hussain, and she's highly impressive.
