Depends how extended they are talking about, if Breakfast went until 10am, and Morning Live was extended until 11:15 they could end up being able to axe everything that they commission for mornings besides HUTH and BH. Good for the BBC’s budgets but not great for the variety of programmes they show

With an extended One I wonder if they will sneak in repeats of lighter breakfast features to fill the time slot - the live OBs from factories in hair nets etc

I would not be surprised if there wasn’t a hidden cut somewhere else, something like extending the One and then reducing the regional news to 5 minutes. I am reminded of how many times the Ten and the regional Ten have been extended and reduced back and forth over the last decade or so

And I don’t want it to go in rota chat but this would also have implications for the second level of network presenters who do the One. There would need to be extra Salford presenters recruited, and much less work for Network London presenters meaning presumably some roles being closed
