More excited to see how Kuenssberg can matching the rule that Marr was for the show. However, i think giving that it will coincides with the upcoming BBC News rebrand, why she not taking over from late-spring.
Think Laura will do a great job, a solid pick.
Good to hear that the format and look is getting a revamp also - 54D is quite honestly starting to look pretty dingy it must be said. The browns and oranges probably don’t help, alongside that awful sofa cover. Given the incoming Studio B revamp, it would surely make sense for it to come from there?

If the programme name ends up being literally just "Laura Kuenssberg" and no other words, à la "Victoria Derbyshire", then I might just explode.
Given the general "boring naming convention" culture that seems prevelant nowadays (see the bland "Sunday Morning" name of the current interim Sophie Raworth programme), I've no expectation that it'll be anything beyond e.g. "Laura Kuenssberg Live" or "The Laura Kuenssberg Show" or similar.
I've never really gotten over how the clever "Sunday AM" name (with the implied double-meaning of Ante Meridiem / Andrew Marr) was quickly ditched in favour of the ultra-basic "The Andrew Marr Show".
MISLEADING HEADLINE "MAKES YOU READ ARTICLE", SAYS NAKED MILEY CYRUS.
Are we taking bids on what the new name of her new programme may be called?
Kunessberg On Sunday would be one, if I were to take inspiration from Sky News’ Sophy Ridge.

Not forgetting "...with Sophie Raworth" when Laura's away.
