Jon Kay, Sally Nugent and Nina Warhurst will all host on rotation with Ben Brown, Anna Foster and Tina Daheley.
However, the shake-up means Jane Hill will step down from the programme – with her last episode today.
Taking to social media, the journalist posted an emotional message to viewers.
She said: “A big day, and a sad one, for many of us. The last #BBCNewsOne from London, after more than 37 years!
“Do join us if you can at 1300. With a warning that we’ve brought in so much cake we’ll be broadcasting on a sugar rush.”
Fans flooded Jane with well-wishes, as one said: “Wow end of an era. Good luck Jane & team.”
A second wrote: “A silly, pointless, ridiculous, political move Jane, which doesn’t add value to the viewer and is being done to score box ticking points. A great shame.”
“Always enjoy News at One,” said a third.
In a further update to worried fans, Jane reassured them she was not leaving the BBC.
She explained: “Personal news, for avoidance of confusion (thanks for all the messages). I am not leaving
“@bbcnews! Sticking with my role on #BBCNewsSix & #BBCNewsTen, plus weekend bulletins. Good luck to the Salford team.”
