Where is Morning Live filmed and who are the presenters? Fans of the BBC show are curious to know more after it was announced it wouldn’t be on our screens for a while last week due to a scheduling shake up.

The popular daytime programme usually airs weekdays from 9:15am-10am. But one of its presenters, Gethin Jones, announced last week that the show would be taken off air temporarily because of the Women’s World Cup 2023.

Here’s everything we know about where is Morning Live filmed and who are the presenters?

Where is Morning Live filmed?

After originally being filmed at BBC Studios where The One Show was previously shot, Morning Live made the move to a new location - and a prestigious one at that. It is filmed on the site of the former Granada Studios where Coronation Street used to be made. The studio is in Salford, Manchester, in a 10th floor set.
