ISTR that the regions don't normally have slots on Bank Holidays during Breakfast. However, that may have changed.

Back here in BBC World land, we now have Mishal Hussain back behind the newsdesk presenting regularly. So, I guess that her replacement on BREAKFAST, Susannah Reid, will become a more frequent fixture on the sofa on Fridays/weekends, etc, and as a fill-in for Sian Williams.

From what I can remember of recent years, Breakfast has included regional news on Bank Holidays while they've been coming from News 24. At least they have from 2001-ish onwards.

Indeed. They will include regional news on Good Friday and Easter Monday. They have done ever since the Breakfast brand started in 2000. When Breakfast came from the previous News 24 studio and UK Today still existed. UK Today would use the backdrop from the then main national news backdrop (the real news centre) so to not confuse viewers that presenters could jump in and out of seats in half a second.

Ah, that's interesting. I never watched a UK Today bulletin on a Bank Holiday (I always watched my local programme), so I didn't know they changed the backdrop to the National one. Not that difficult to do, I assume, as UK Today used to come from old N6's second "set" - essentially a small desk in front of a CSO screen.

I believe they still use the little CSO set for the news interactive updates although i may be wrong. Did they remove it when the set changed?

No, they removed it. There's still a CSO screen in N6 opposite the main set - it's used for the daytime summaries on BBC1.

IIRC, News Interactive comes from close to News 24 in the News Centre.
