Sally Nugent will present the first edition, having already hosted BBC Breakfast that morning.
Richard Frediani, the editor of BBC Breakfast and BBC News at One said: “I’m delighted to bring the News at One to Salford, where it will join forces with the brilliant BBC Breakfast team to create the first major weekday TV news bulletin to be produced and broadcast from outside London.
"In the extended programme, we’ll be serving daytime audiences with the best of BBC News - the biggest stories of the day, with more depth, context and analysis, and the expertise of BBC Breakfast to show more human-focused stories from across the UK.”
Following the announcement, fans have been left worried for their regional news bulletins.
