## Resource

Rachel Burden is leaving her BBC Breakfast weekend hosting role after over a decade, citing BBC-wide schedule changes tied to major cost-cutting efforts aimed at saving £80 million across TV, radio, and news. She thanked colleagues and viewers, excited for guaranteed Sunday lie-ins. The shift means BBC One’s Breakfast will vanish from Sunday mornings, replaced by the BBC News Channel — part of broader cuts including team mergers and radio program axing, with up to 2,000 jobs expected to be lost, mostly in news and nations. Fellow presenters and fans have rallied with heartfelt support and well wishes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
