Is she presenting Sat and Sun, in theory that would mean she would be on the morning news summary on BBC One in The Andrew Marr Show.

Looks like Bill's got the main job...

Dear Cian,

Thank you for your email.

As it stands the current plan is to carry on with the presenters as they are although this is subject to change.

Kind regards,

So what happened to Mr Mayo?

Also, on the presenter profile page of the Breakfast website, the first line of Bill's profile has been changed from "The mainstay of our weekend coverage", to "A presenter on the programme since 2001". Certainly, Bill would appear to be the main weekday presenter at least for now.

Indeed Sophie Long presented Saturday and Sunday Breakfast as well as the summary in The Andrew Marr Show.

Not necessarily. She could just be covering this weekend like Louisa Preston did for a while and even Christa Ackroyd once.

To be fair she seems to be N24's main female relief at the moment - On much more than Emily, Karin (etc.) and Rachel Schofield only works Mon-Wed now apparently... I'd like to see Matthew Amwroliwala and Sophie Long on a shift together if there's a reshuffle...

I suppose the changes are due to Louise being off on holiday (not on N24, mon-thurs 1 or Breakfast), Kate now only working during the week and Susanna being busy/ time with kids...

According to this Sophie's only on a 6 month attachment to cover maternity leave, presumably Joanna Gosling's.
