Sky News (DStv 402) is once again changing the British TV news channel's schedule, this time from Monday 14 October 2019, once again moving Kay Burley earlier in its second big schedule change of 2019 after its last one in January.
Sky News doesn't seem as if it knows what to do with veteran anchor Kay Burley who first got her own self-titled show The Kay Burley Show, that then changed late-afternoon timeslots and with Kay Burley who will now be moved to early mornings from 14 October to do Kay Burley @ Breakfast between 8:00 and 10:00 (South African time) from Mondays to Thursdays.
Kay Burley @ Breakfast will be done from Sky News' Westminster studios that according to Sky News "will be a hard-hitting, news making breakfast news programme that will set the agenda for the day".
Sarah-Jane Mee who has anchored Sky News Sunrise for the past 3 years between 08:00 and 11:00 is essentially switching places with Kay Burley, and will now be doing The Sarah-Jane Mee Show during the afternoons between 15:00 and 18:00.
Sarah-Jane’s show will feature longer form interviews on topical issues and a "daily debate".
Sky News' morning programming will start with The Early Rundown with anchor Niall Paterson between 07:00 and 08:00 on weekdays, followed by Kay Burley @ Breakfast.
Stephen Dixon and Gillian Joseph will continue to anchor Sky News's morning slot from Friday to Sunday from Sky Studios in Osterley in a slightly more relaxed style.
All Out Politics, anchored by Adam Boulton, will continue from Westminster at 10:00, along with the News Hour in Sky News studio at Osterley from 18:00 anchored by Mark Austin.
Sky News's late night schedule, Sky News at Ten at 23:00 and the Press Preview at 23:30 will remain unchanged.
"We are always looking to stay fresh and never stand still while the world changes around us so quickly," says Cristina Nicolotti Squires, Sky News director of content.
"We're living in exciting times and Kay, Sarah-Jane and Niall will all bring their own personal style and strengths to their new shows and I’m excited for them to get started at such a tumultuous time."
