A significant change to any programme (such as a new studio and/or set) launching in July or August seems odd to me, as these two months are when television viewership in general hits the trough of its summer slump.

If the new Breakfast/Sport studio debuts on Monday 26th June, then it'd just about "get in there" BEFORE the "summer slump" months.

BBC Breakast's longstanding reluctance to anything other than piecemeal change makes me expect that there will be little/no revision to things like the theme tune or the sting title sequence etc. We already know that the new faux "window" backdrop is a similar view of TheStudios building at MediaCity to what they currently have, and will have a curved red sofa plonked in front of it. So, it's evolution not revolution.

I said a few years ago on one of this forum's spiritual predecessors that I anticipated that even a new physical set (and/or studio) for Breakfast would probably re-use the current faux view (or something very similar).

Perhaps they fear that significantly changing both the physical surroundings and the faux view thereupon simultaneously would summon The Candyman, or something?
