OK, so we won't have Breakfast with Frost soon. But what would you like to see in its place? There are a few ideas...

Breakfast on Sunday 0900-1000, BBC 1
A one-hour, in-depth look at the week's news, presented by Michael Buerk and Moira Stuart. They, alongside the pick of the BBC's finest correspondants, experts, witnesses and presenters, take a look at one story from each day of the week. A poll will be run on the Sunday, asking viewers what they thought the biggest story of the week was, and at the end the results are revealed, and a special clip montage of reports and broadcasts is shown, with David Lowe's BBC World "Iraq War" mix. The title music would be a fusion between his Breakfast 2000-2002 theme and the National News. One of the more controversial points, the presenters do not wear suits, but wear suitable, casual clothing.

In The Know 0900-1100, BBC 1
The popular casual news and sport show is extended to two hours, giving viewers on BBC One a lighter look at sport and news combined. Moved to a Sunday, the newsreader is Kate Sanderson. The programme is no longer simulcast with BBC News 24.

Weekend 0600-1000, BBC 1 and BBC News 24
In line with Saturday's former 'Breakfast', now renamed 'Weekend 24', Sunday's edition extended to 10 O'Clock.

Politics Show 0900-1200
Half an hour of PS, then at every programme break, JV comes back to give details on how, say, the day's poll is going. Then, at 1130, he comes back with another half hour of PS, thus completing the circle.

So which do you want? Vote now!

Maybe somone like Noggin could answer this but as 'Breakfast With Frost' comes from TC7 (I think) or at least the same studio as weekday 'Breakfast' does this mean 'Breakfast' can come from its proper weekday home on Saturday's and Sunday's. I really do think that this is one of the programes downfalls, that and the design of the graphics and astons used.

Very unlikely. To do with cost. From what I have heard it is likely that TC7 will be used less and less rather than more.

Couldn't the BBC create a cost effective BBC Breakfast studio to be used seven days a week, or create a soft set at News 24 and use their studio seven days a week.
