BBC Breakfast, Morning Live and Homes Under the Hammer axed in huge shake-up
BBC bosses have cancelled a huge amount of popular shows on Friday, July 5, to make way for a day of Election coverage. BBC One will see nearly all of its morning and daytime coverage axed in a huge scheduling shake-up.
Jon Kay and Sally Nugent usually kick off morning television with a round-up of national and international news on BBC Breakfast at 6am before handing over to BBC Morning Live's Gethin Jones, Helen Skelton, and Michelle Ackerley three and a half hours later.
The weekday magazine show then continues until 10:45am when Scam Interceptors takes over for a 30-minute slot before the BBC's long-standing property show Home Under the Hammer airs with presenters Martin Roberts, Dion Dublin, and Martel Maxwell at the helm.

However, none of the above fan favourites will air on Friday as the broadcaster brings the UK up to speed with the results of the General Election.
According to the Radio Times television guide, coverage will start on Thursday, July 4 at 9:55pm on the channel, meaning that BBC News At Ten has also been removed from the schedules.
Election coverage then continues from 9:55pm on Thursday until 4:30pm on Friday before BBC One will air the latest from Wimbledon.
This will be followed by the 6pm news and then Portugal v France at 7:30pm as the Euros 2024 continues.

The election and summer sport coverage means the likes of Animal Park, Bargain Hunt and Escape To The Country, has also been cancelled on Friday, while BBC's The One Show, which usually airs weekdays at 7pm, has been off-air all week.
Presenter Alex Jones announced the programme would be taking a break during the episode that aired last Friday, confirming The One Show would return on Monday, July 8.
Meanwhile, EastEnders is also faced with disruption this week, although it will still be shown in different timeslots on BBC Two rather than its usual home on BBC One.
