BBC Breakfast just got bigger as the show has started the new year with a longer runtime.
The news programme kicked off 2024 with an announcement for viewers, who will be treated to 15 minutes more of the show every day.
Taking to X/Twitter on New Year's Day, presenter Jon Kay shared that BBC Breakfast will deliver news for 15 minutes more than usual on weekdays, while its runtime on Saturdays and Sundays will stay the same.

Kay also shared that Morning Live will see a runtime shakeup, as it has been extended as well.
"The UK's two biggest morning shows just got BIGGER!" Kay said.

Last year, BBC Breakfast had a makeover with the studio getting a shiny new look after the MediaCity studio underwent its first transformation and expansion in more than 10 years.
BBC Breakfast benefited from a number of high-tech upgrades, including three more cameras and a state-of-the-art screen to tell stories in an impactful way. Meanwhile, a new camera angle has been showcasing the position of the studio within BBC North operations at Salford Quay House, where shows such as BBC Sport and 5Live are based.
"After celebrating 10 years in Salford and 40 years on BBC One, it was time for a new look and studio for the UK's most watched morning show," Richard Frediani, BBC Breakfast editor, shared in a statement in June 2023.
"Breakfast is how millions of Britons start their day, and I hope they'll enjoy seeing their favourite presenters in a bright, modern space."
BBC Breakfast airs every morning from 6am on BBC One.
