Sky News launches new Sunday Morning programme with rotating guest presenters

Sky News today announced a new format for its flagship Sunday morning current affairs programme.

Starting on Sunday 6th September, the new programme will feature a rotating line-up of high-profile guest presenters, including:

6th September – Jon Sopel, broadcaster and co-presenter of The News Agents
13th September – Rachel Johnson, broadcaster, author and LBC Presenter
20th September – Kamal Ahmed, broadcaster and Fortune Executive Editorial Director, Europe
27th September – Kate McCann, political journalist and Times Radio Breakfast presenter
4th October – Helen Lewis, journalist at The Atlantic, author and broadcaster

Reflecting this new approach, the programme will be renamed Sunday Morning with…, with each week’s presenter completing the title. Each will bring their own perspective and interviewing style to the programme, offering audiences a fresh take on the traditional Sunday morning current affairs show.

Politics and major interviews will remain an important part of the programme, while the conversation will extend beyond Westminster to the issues and ideas shaping life across the UK.

Each presenter will bring their own interests and expertise, with greater emphasis on discussion and debate alongside interviews and analysis of the week’s biggest stories.

There will be a refreshed look and feel, with a redesigned set and more informal studio environment designed to encourage lively discussion and natural exchanges between presenters and guests.

Sunday Morning with… will be live across Sky News, YouTube, the Sky News app, web and social media, as Sky News continues to grow its digital audience, with monthly video views up 29% year on year.

David Rhodes, Executive Chairman of Sky News, said: “We’ll present the widest range of voices in the political market, in conversation every Sunday morning. That’s the beauty of this format – the broadest range of views, all while maintaining the highest standards of trusted journalism that audiences expect from Sky News.”

The new show will sit in the slot of Trevor Phillips’ show. Further presenters for the run-up to Christmas will be announced in the coming weeks, bringing a range of voices and perspectives to Sky News’s Sunday morning coverage.
