Sky News to change its schedule for a second time in 2019 from 14 October with Kay Burley now anchoring the breakfast show and switching places with Sarah-Jane Mee moving to afternoons.

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."

Sarah-Jane Mee replacing Eamonn Holmes as new anchor of Sunrise on Sky News; will broadcast from 17 October from Sky Central's new glass studio.

Sarah-Jane Mee will be the new main anchor of the breakfast morning show Sunrise on Sky News with Jonathan Samuels as co-presenter from 17 October with a new look for the programme.

Sarah-Jane Mee is replacing Eamonn Holmes who is leaving Sky News (DStv 402) along with a lot of longtime Sky News anchors as the TV news channel is cutting down costs.

Sarah-Jane Mee and Jonathan Samuels will anchor Sunrise from Mondays to Thursdays. Stephen Dixon will continue to host Sunrise Fridays to Sunday with Isabel Webster.

Sunrise with Sarah-Jane Mee and Jonathan Samuels will be broadcast from the new state-of-the-art, glass studio that Sky News has been constructing at Sky News' studios in Osterley in West London called Sky Central.

The new studio will give Sunrise a new on-air look.

Sarah-Jane Mee has been a familiar face on Sunrise, and Jonathan Samuels, a senior correspondent, has been further honing his skills as night-time sit-in anchor on Sky News.

Joining Sarah-Jane Mee and Jonathan Samuels will be sports presenter, Jacquie Beltrao and weather presenters, Isobel Lang and Nazaneen Ghaffar.

Sarah-Jane Mee started her career at Sky, left and returned to Sky News in 2008.

"I'm so excited about returning to the Sunrise hotseat; taking over from Eamonn is a real honour and I I feel privileged that I will be starting the day with Sunrise viewers around the UK and beyond, " says Sarah-Jane Mee in a statement.

"Live news is always such a thrill, you never know where the morning will take you and I looking forward to finding out.”

John Ryley, the head of Sky News, says "I'm delighted that Sarah-Jane is to anchor Sunrise. She's enjoying a stellar career here at Sky and will bring a fresh outlook to Sunrise, combining a lightness of touch with sharp journalistic nous; I know she will excel in her new role."
