BBC Breakfast viewers may feel slightly disoriented today as the normal routine on BBC One gives way to the excitement of Olympic coverage starting at 8am.Normally gracing screens from 6am to 9:30am during the week, BBC Breakfast is undergoing a schedule shake-up to accommodate Olympics 2024 broadcasts.On Monday's programme, anchors Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent began their presentation as per usual at 6am on BBC One, cutting it short at 8am before transitioning to BBC Two for the concluding hour.Sally informed viewers with a reminder: "Now we are on BBC Two until 9am this morning," while Ben chimed in with a farewell as they wrapped up their segment on BBC One."Today's Olympic coverage will premiere on BBC One with day three of the Paris 2024 events taking the spotlight from 8am, hosted by Jeanette Kwakye and JJ Chalmers, extending into the early afternoon at 1pm." Further programming variations are expected on Tuesday, 30 July, and Wednesday, 31 July, as the show makes a brief 45-minute appearance on BBC One, then shifts to BBC Two from 6:45am to 9am, reports the Mirror.

The week's alterations conclude with the broadcast moving to BBC Two at 8am on both Thursday and Friday, the Express has reported.This rearrangement follows the recent curtailment of Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt's Saturday edition, when preference was given to broadcasting the eagerly awaited commencement of the Paris Olympics instead of their weekend slot - a decision that was met with mixed reactions from the audience.
