Newsreader and presenter, BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 5 Live.
BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast will see Katty Munchetty move from BBC Breakfast to host the flagship show from January, while Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards are stepping down this December. Munchetty has praised the move and the programme’s live-news format, and the network confirms a new co-host will be announced later this year.
The Independent reports that Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards are leaving 5 Live Breakfast in January, with Naga Munchetty set to replace them. Burden has led the show for 15 years and will continue with 5 Live in a new role; Edwards will also depart. The changes come as part of broader scheduling shifts.
