Bill, Susanna and Mike (Bushell) have all been confirmed as moving, but it's not been announced what the latter two's posts will be. Sian Williams and Chris Hollins are definitely leaving, but I don't believe anything has been announced about either Carol Kirkwood or Simon Jack, and as said above the BBC said Charlie is freelance and so it's up to him if he goes or not.


Surely all 'talent' are freelance ?

The other man could be current weekend host Charlie Stayt, who is freelance and not eligible for the relocation package but has indicated that he’d like to stay.


I very much doubt any of the onscreen talent are 'employees' as would feature in other industries, but will likely have detailed contracts allowing them to work exclusively for the BBC and, like employees, certain perks could be included in such contracts (like relocation help in the case of Reid and Turbull).

Thank goodness for that! She is awful. Plonking and patronising - more suited to CBBC.

Simon Jack is moving to Radio 4 (the today programme) in October according to his twitter:

@simonbreakfast: "I'm moving to the Today Programme on October 10th. Very excited to move back to radio 4 but will obviously miss the folks here"

Must admit if it was a choice between Sian & Susanna, I'd go with Sian every time, as she commands authority unlike Susanna.

They must be getting rather short - I feel like he may have done it a few years ago though, pre-2006 era I think?

McCoy presented Breakfast quite a bit when he first joined the BBC, and IIRC - he was very good at it too. Will be good to see him back on the sofa.

Yeah chris_rgu, according to next week's Radio Times, Simon McCoy is down to present Mon-Wed with Kate. Also, Adam Parsons is to make his debut on the programme with Naga Munchetty on Sunday!

Who is doing Thursday and Friday? Might be wrong, but I think that Adam has presented before during 2008 during a weekend...might be wrong though.

Charlie & Kate on Thursday, then Charlie & Susanna on Friday.

I don't think Adam Parsons has presented Breakfast before. Ben Geoghegan, now a political correspondent for the BBC, made a few weekend appearances in 2008 though.
