Apologies if this has already been covered, but with Breakfast turning into Olympic Breakfast soon, do we know if there will be a non-Olympic Breakfast on the BBC News channel?

As per bbc.co.uk/tv no, it's Olympic Breakfast on the NC. BBC News starts earlier at 9am on the first Saturday however


That's the case throughout the Games - Breakfast will only be on air until 0900.

Breakfast will be in Stratford for the next three weeks - and if you're lucky, you might just see a familiar pair on your screens tomorrow morning.

Oh exciting...are they presenting the whole programme from Stratford? Roger Johnston has just said it is Charlie and Susanna presenting tomorrow.

Sian is back on Breakfast next week on the Opening Ceremony day with Bill Turnball and then according to Radio Times she is on every Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun Breakfast with Chris Hollins for the duration of the games.

Ah, I was sure I'd seen Bill and Sian together at some point this week - I must have just misread the sheet. Close enough. Smile

I reckon that will be on Friday. I remember Sian saying that she and Bill would present with each other once at the olympics and then they would go their separate ways. It's down on the schedule for Olympic Breakfast on Friday. Charlie has been off this weekend and is on tomorrow so I reckon he'll be filling in for Bill this week.

Steph McGovern will still present her biz segments from MediaCity until Thursday. Friday sees the biz slot axed until after the Olympics, unless a major business story breaks.

Ah, it seems I was slightly misinformed - Charlie and Susanna are on the sofa in Salford, and Mike and Carol are at Lund Point - him inside, her out on the balcony. (And there's a very good demonstration of Neutral Density Filters when they cut between the two)

Charlie & Louise, with Sally, joining Mike & Carol down at the Olympic Park studio, leaving poor Steph on her tod in Salford!

Surely for one day, they couldve arranged for her to do her bits in London Stock Exchange for one day as I read somewhere theres no normal Brekky Business during the Olympics?

Presumably they could, but she'd still be on her tod, just in a different location!

But does she not live in Salford though?

A big show this morning. Bill also turned up and did an live interview with David Cameron from the Downing Street garden. Sally did reports form within the Olympic park.
