Morning Live is a magazine programme that airs on weekday mornings between 9:30 am and 10:45 am on BBC One.[1]

History

Morning Live first broadcast on 26 October 2020 as a 40-part series to connect with viewers' real-life concerns and to offer trustworthy and expert advice.[6]

The programme returned for a second series in January 2021, following the launch series, which averaged 1,400,000 viewers. One episode in February 2021, achieved 1,800,000 viewers.[7][8][9]

In February 2022, Morning Live moved to a new studio "in the heart of Manchester city centre."[5]

Upon its move to Manchester, Morning Live was averaging 1,200,000 viewers, and was consistently achieving slot-winning figures.[5]

In November 2023, Morning Live won the Best Factual Series at the Royal Television Society's North West Awards.[10]

In December 2023, it was announced that Morning Live would extend its running time from 45 minutes to 75 minutes, beginning in the New Year. Its new slot was announced as 9:30 to 10:45.[1]

In November 2024, Morning Live won a further three Royal Television Society North West Awards. These were for Best Factual Series, for Best Inclusive Practice, and for Gethin Jones as Best Presenter.[11]
