Sky News has announced a new format for its flagship Sunday morning current affairs programme, with a rotating line-up of guest presenters taking the helm from September.
Launching on Sunday 6th September, the series will feature a different guest presenter each week, including Jon Sopel, Rachel Johnson, Kamal Ahmed, Kate McCann and Helen Lewis.
Further presenters for the run-up to Christmas will be announced in the coming weeks.
The programme will be renamed Sunday Morning with…, with each week’s presenter completing the title.
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.
The new format follows Trevor Phillips’s departure to CBS News.
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.
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.”
