The BBC has axed its news and current affairs show, Morning Live.
The BBC has announced that it is cancelling its daily news and current affairs show, Morning Live. The programme was hosted by Sarah Montague and ran from Monday to Friday at 8am. It replaced the old Today programme in April 2018, but was not a direct replacement for the flagship news show. The final episode of Morning Live will air on October 27th, with the slot being taken over by an extended edition of the Today programme.
The decision to cancel Morning Live comes as part of a major shake-up at the BBC which also includes moving Victoria Derbyshire from 10am to 11am and a new hour-long politics show at 11am. These changes are expected to come into effect in 2021, but there is no word yet on what will replace Sarah Montague’s current 9am slot.
