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

Agree with your theory on them going through to 11.15 - and the afternoon is easy enough to adjust thanks to Escape to the Country and others coming in 30, 45 and 60 minute cuts.

Not sure though if Breakfast could sustain an extra hour or so - and a big ask of the crew to probably be in at 5am and leave after 2pm.    Obviously though if NWT is coming from the set after they'd be a crew in anyway, though thought they were having their own space and Breakfast sharing with BBC Sport.   Wouldn't be surprised though if sport news ends up staying where it is.
