A full on axing does seem a bit drastic, especially considering Newsnight - which is probably the most comparable situation, though arguably much worse - managed to get through it. But even if they do go the whole hog, as others have said, it'll be a News of the World -> Sun on Sunday-style chop. Ultimately, that's a large chunk of the schedule and this kind of TV is fairly cheap and popular enough - a similar show with a clean brand is much easier than developing new formats which might not work.
