Genuinely delighted they've finally announced the news we all knew anyway, and can't for it to arrive! She'll be brilliant at it.

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.

Starting in the Autumn will presumably give her several interviews with party leaders coinciding with the party conference season in her first few weeks on air.

I wonder if this line

Quote:Laura will start her role when the show relaunches this September with a new-look set, title, title music and format.

is an indication the new programme will come from Studio B or if it's just changes to the existing studio set in 54D.

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?

It's interesting phrase and could mean a number of things. I doubt 54D will be getting a new set, it's relatively new and probably quite low down the pecking order for another change. The new Studio B will presumably be free at that time of day and I could see that as a possibility - though if it does end up in B I'm going to claim that I called it back in January. If The One Show studio still looked out over the plaza, that would also be a possibility.

But, of course, worth remembering the number of 'new sets' that amount to little more than a change in the colour of the LEDs. A press release briefing of a new set has led to many a disappointment on this forum.

Saw this thread and was wondering who "Marr Slot" was. Big Grin

Seemed inevitable. I get the BBC has to go through due process but so often the outcome is they reach the obvious decision but six months later than necessary, often meaning transitions from one host to the next aren't as smooth as they could be.

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".

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.

I’m going with just “Kunessberg” - her surname is distinctive enough to stand on its own

“The Laura Kunessberg Show” is too long and sounds like something that should air at teatime on ITV

I'm with you [mention]Andrew[/mention] - 'Kuenssberg' Strong name period.

Not forgetting "...with Sophie Raworth" when Laura's away.
As seen on BBC Newswatch
