I think there are three shows live on BBC One. This Sunday - the 23rd Aug, next Thursday, the 27th Aug, and the following Sunday, 30th Aug.
Sounds to me as if they are staying on to do more shows for PBS, tailored for a US market and timezones?
**EDIT - this appears to confirm it from the PBS press release ***
Interesting describing Matt Baker as 'a news anchor'. Not sure I'd have gone with that, think 'popular factual and sport anchor' would have been a better description. (And I'd have pushed Countryfile as being one of the most watched factual shows in the UK, and more relevant to this role, apart possibly from the live presentation experience)
But then The One Show could probably be seen to be hard-hitting news in the US...

A question about the upcoming joint PBS and BBC production
Big Blue Live
:
If BBC One is showing the program live one week before PBS stations broadcast it live as well , how will PBS be able to do it live? Are two different editions being made for the PBS and BBC?

BIG BLUE LIVE airs live on PBS over three nights, Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 2015, at 8:00- 9:00 p.m. ET, with another live feed to the West Coast at 8:00-9:00 p.m. PT. In both feeds, as well as streaming online and in social media, viewers can watch one of nature’s great “reality” shows delivered through state-of-the-art filming technologies and live reports from air, sea, and below the waves. The multi-platform event will be anchored by four on-air correspondents from a reporting hub at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and from aboard NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries' research vessels. Leading scientists and other experts will provide additional insights.
The week prior to the PBS broadcast, BBC will air its live broadcast in the UK, and will be streaming online and through social media for UK viewers.
