Now that Laura K is off until September, some Sunday mornings until then we'll just get an hour of the news channel on BBC 1 between 9 - 10am.
But in the mid-2000s, they did try to do something 'special' with the Sunday 9 - 10am slot on BBC 1 over the summer. Who remembers "News 24 Sunday" with Peter Sissons?

I remember it fondly. It even had its own theme tune, which I thought was fantastic (I know someone uploaded it a few years ago to the old TV Forum).
Nowadays of course they can’t even be arsed to give their daily branded slots their own individual music.

According to Genome it ran until 2007. After that the idea of the main Sunday morning show going off air for 6 weeks or so was reduced to a shorter 2/3 week break for a few years
In 2008 there was Summer break for The Andrew Marr Show, but just for three Sundays during the Beijing Olympics. Zainab Badawi presented one show on 3rd August, with Andrew Marr returning on 31st August
genome.ch.bbc.co.uk
Presumably with the Olympics taking up three weeks, it was decided there was no point in having a News 24 Sunday that year
2009 saw The Andrew Marr Show run as late as 16th August before being replaced by BBC News for 2 weeks. Again guest presenters for two of the August editions. 2010 and 2011 The Andrew Marr Show ran until 8th and 7th August respectively, and again with guest presenters for the final shows before the Summer. BBC News then filled the gap
2012 had the London Olympics occupy early August then BBC News filling the gap later in the month. Only in 2013 did BBC News air at 9am on a Sunday on BBC1 from the first Sunday in August, and only in 2016 did the final Sunday in July have a BBC News simulcast

"News 24 Sunday" would not have returned in July 2008 anyway, as the News 24 brand was dropped in April 2008. But I'd say 3 years was a good run for the program.
And looking at Genome, it ran for 3 months in its first summer in 2005, with "Breakfast with Frost" ending on the last Sunday in May, and then "News 24 Sunday" running for June, July, August and into the first Sunday in September, when Andrew Marr then launched the new Sunday morning politics show.
It shows how strong the News 24 brand was in the mid-2000s for BBC News managers to think it was worthy of essentially giving N24 it's own show on BBC 1 every Sunday morning throughout the summer.

Probably, but not necessarily. Don't forget that E24, Film 24 and a few other minor remnants of the 24 brand hung around for a while - in some cases, until the move to NBH.

And due to a miscommunication between scheduling teams, there was an episode billed on the 23rd of August. Presentation only realised that there wasn't going to be a programme when they tried to line up with the studio and found it looking rather empty.

An unusual clash of eras here in the depths of archive.org - Nisha Pillai presenting The Hub (though from the desk, not The Hub).

For reasons unknown, Nisha always sat at the main desk when presenting The Hub, apart from possibly one occasion.

Because nothing could separate Nisha and her pillow.
