The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Show is to be axed because its costs are too high, it has been announced.
It is unclear when the programme, which is named after its Ramsbottom-born host, will come off air.
BBC media editor Amol Rajan made the announcement on social media.
In a tweet put up on Wednesday evening, he wrote: "The Victoria Derbyshire Show is coming off air.
"I understand @BBCNews is committed to Victoria and the (award-winning) journalism of the show.
"Cost of doing it on linear channel when savings are needed deemed too high.
"BBC declined to comment ahead of an announcement next week.
"The show won awards at the RTS and from BAFTA. Victoria nominated for Best Presenter 4 years in a row - and won once. Digital impact was huge. Show was designed to reach audiences the BBC struggles to connect with, and it did - online."
The news prompted shock on social media.
GMB host Piers Morgan tweeted: "Very strange decision. It was an excellent programme & @vicderbyshire is a superb journalist. "
Launch editor Louisa Compton, who now works for C4 Dispatches, wrote that the show has an 'outstanding team and presenter'.
The show's presenter won Broadcaster of the Year at the PinkNews Awards in both 2015 and 2016.
The programme won a BAFTA in 2017 for its coverage of former footballers who had been sexually abused.
The news comes just two days after the BBC's director general Tony Hall announced his resignation.
