SKY NEWS TO WELCOME GUEST PRESENTERS TO SUNDAY MORNING POLITICS SHOW FOLLOWING DEPARTURE OF TREVOR PHILLIPS

Sky News announces a new format for its flagship Sunday morning current affairs programme, with a rotating line-up of high-profile guest presenters taking the helm from September.

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.

The new show will sit in the slot of Trevor Phillips’ show and marks a new, exciting era for Sky News’s Sunday morning coverage. 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.

Launching on Sunday 6th September, the series will feature a different guest presenter each week, starting with:

• 6th September – Jon Sopel, journalist, 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

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.

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.”

Sunday Morning With... airs Sundays at 8:30am on Sky News.
