After claiming that the country has lost the 'epoch of family viewing,' Konnie Huq has begged her former employer, BBC One, to BBC One in the afternoon. The 48-year-old, who was Blue Peter's longest-serving host from 1997 to 2008, was also criticizing the broadcaster's kids' programming budget, according to the broadcaster, who said it was now being reduced over a number of channels.
